Actors Sunny Singh and Kriti Kharbanda are poised to create on-screen magic as they unite under the directorial guidance of Abir Sengupta for the much-anticipated comedy ‘Risky Romeo’. In an exciting social media revelation, Kriti took to her Instagram to unveil the film’s poster, accompanied by a tantalizing caption that read, “Looks like tragedy is the new comedy, or is it vice versa? Excited to present to you the first look of my next film, #RiskyRomeo. Filming begins this winter.
Directed by Abir Sengupta, the film, billed as an edgy and stylish neo-noir comic tragedy, stars youth favorites Sunny Singh and Kriti Kharbanda in never-seen-before avatars. Thrilled to announce the film, writer-director Abir Sengupta, who had previously directed Kiara Advani starrer ‘Indoo Ki Jawani’ and produced Radhika Apte starrer ‘Mrs. Undercover’, said ‘Risky Romeo’ is a neo noir comic tragedy that depicts human behavior in a “very unusual manner.” “The script is filled with dark humor, outlandish characters, and a surreal treatment.
When I narrated the script to Sunny, he instantly picked up the essence of the film. She too instantly connected with the script, and I landed both my leads after toiling with multiple stories and ideas for almost 3 years. Risky Romeo was something that had my heart and soul, and I knew that I had to make this film,” Abir said.
Kriti Kharbanda expressed, «Sets have always been my happy place, and I can’t wait to face the camera. This script is special for more reasons than one, and I can’t wait for the world to see it unfold. Excited to don the role of ‹Risky Romeo›, Sunny Singh shared, «I have never ever played a character even close to this before. It is thrilling and challenging at the same time. Anushree, Abir, and I have been wanting to collaborate on something for a while now, and finally it is happening with this film.
This will be the first time that I will have Kriti as my co-star, and I am looking forward to the riot on set.
