Rajkummar Rao-Triptii Dimri's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is 'for the middle class', says director Raaj Shaandilyaa | Bollywood

What the director said

During the chat, Raaj said, “The idea was that a large population of our country is shy and yet children are born every second. We live in a world where any video can go viral in seconds. So we decided to make a middle class film that has a message with a lot of humor and romance. I also wanted to explore the plight of the people at whose expense we laugh. [At the same time]“We wanted to find out how people from small towns faced with this dilemma would feel.”

The director also talked about how to write a comedy and make it well received. “When I write, I am aware that it should be something that the majority enjoy and no one should be hurt,” he added.
