Director Raaj Shaandilyaa clarified that his upcoming film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, has no connection to the 2014 Hollywood movie Sex Tape. Known for his Dream Girl films with Ayushmann Khurrana, Raaj mentioned he hasn’t even watched the Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz-starrer.
“Vicky Vidya…” follows the titular married couple on a frantic search of a CD with a video of their wedding night, whereas Sex Tape revolves around a married couple who make a sex tape to spice up their relationship only to wake up the next morning to find that it has gone missing,” Shaandilyaa said once he found out that there was a film called Sex Tape after the trailer launch of Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, whose story is set in the 1990s.
“The characters and story are different. Our film has nothing to do with Sex Tape. I’ve not even seen Sex Tape. I didn’t get inspired by it, rather I got inspired by life and the people around me,” the director told PTI in an interview. He also mentioned that he is already working on the sequel to Vicky Vidya…, which will be set in the early days of the Internet.
“Where this film ends, we’ve got a sequel, which will be set 10-15 years later, when the advent of the Internet has happened. We’ve written the story. We will shoot this film after I make another film,” he added. The inspiration for “Vicky Vidya…” came from co-writer Yusuf Ali Khan and the work on the screenplay began back in 2018, said Raaj Shaandilyaa.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-series. The film will be out in theatres on October 11. The anticipation for the film is high after Rajkummar Rao’s performance in the juggernaut, Stree 2, also starring Shraddha Kapoor. As for Triptii, she was last seen in Bad Newz with Vicky Kaushal and Amy Virk.
