Vicky Donor to be the Landmark - Shoojit

Shoojit, the director for 'Vicky Donor' is all set and ready for this outing into box office. He is excited about the theme he has took up and is on high confidence that the movie will be unique comedy entertainer and also will be a landmark to the changing industry and story trends "It would be a landmark film for sure. This kind of subject is absolutely new for the Indian audience and we have made the film just the way it should have been," says Shoojit. He had started off with the movie 'Yahaan' which did not make much response in the boxoffice but still had ripples around. 

Shoojit also appreciates John for his confidence in agreeing to the theme and to make his debut in production a memorial one. They find it common on many grounds including the star cast. The promos are already getting good response over and the choice of a fresh face, Ayushmann Khurrana has been widely accepted. "Since the very beginning John and I were sure that we would get a fresh face for the film. We wanted to bring in a fresh actor who would bring on a smile with his very appearance and I didn`t want any excess baggage that would have to be removed off an established star.

"Moreover both John and I like Ayushmann as a person. He was the best choice for the film and audience reaction to him just on the basis of promos is a testimony of that," adds the director. VJ turned actor, Ayushmann has been shown with the same energy as he is known for his tv performances and he plays the role of young Punjabi cricketer in the movie. 

Another prominent role and one of the most appreciated one based on trailers is the role done by Annu Kapoor, that of Dr Chadha. "There are a very few actors who can pull off a character like `Chadha` from Daryaganj, Delhi. A character like this needs to be played quite carefully and Annu Kapoor just fits the bill," Shoojit said. The director said that he had considered actors like Om Puri and Paresh Rawal for Dr Chadha`s role. "We did think of these actors and for that matter Pankaj Kapoor as well. They are all of course fine actors but Annu suits the role best. It is a clear reinvention of sorts for him and I can proudly say that we are reintroducing him with this film."

Due to the controversial nature of the subject, there always arises the question if the movie is for adults alone, Shoojit clarifies this as well "I will never make a film that is crass or slapstick; that`s not my style. The humour quotient in the film too is as real as it gets with nothing forced. There was a thin line we created while writing the film and we did not cross it. Whether it is audio or visual content, nothing would make audience from any age group squirm in their seats. The film is a very straight portrait of real life characters and there won`t be anything repulsive on display here,"

The movie hits screens today and will be a treat to watch as per reports.
