Summary:
Mumbai, Oct 20 (PTI) Actor Rajkummar Rao says his upcoming film "Hum Do Hamare Do" is a "different kind of comedy" as he plays a "serious" man who gets entangled in funny situations.In the Abhishek Jain directorial, Rao stars as Dhruv, an orphan who "adopts" his parents, played by actors Paresh Rawal and Ratna Pathak Shah, to marry the love (Kriti Sanon) of his life.Though the 37-year-old actor has headlined comedies like "Bareilly Ki Barfi", "Stree" or last year"s "Ludo", Rao said his latest film is a marked departure from these titles."This is a very different kind of comedy, it is a shift from what I have done before.
My character is somebody who is always in some situation.
It is not like a "Stree", "Ludo" or "Bareilly Ki Barfi" where the comedy is in-your-face, where the character itself is funny," Rao told PTI in an interview.The National Award winner said he plays a man who is trying to get by in his life but constantly finds himself in comedic situations."When you think of "Ludo", you will feel that my character was a funny guy.
But here, it is not like that, he is not a funny guy.
He is a serious guy, doing his job but in that process he meets strange people, the situations he encounters (are also funny)...
That"s where the comedy comes from," he added.The actor said his character is "always on the back foot", which is why the film lets Rawal, a comedy veteran, take the lead with the funny moments."Paresh sir"s character is the funnier one because he is someone who is not bothered about anything.
