After wrapping up Deepika Padukone’s maiden home production, the Meghna Gulzar-directed Chhapaak, in May this year, Vikrant Massey is all set to roll with his next. The romcom is titled Ginny Weds Sunny, and the actor plays Sunny to Yami Gautam’s free-spirited Ginny. “As the title suggests, it’s essentially a marriage drama with the boy falling in love with the girl, who is not ready to tie the knot because she has certain aspirations. Things take a turn when Sunny tries to win Ginny with her mother’s support,” reveals Vikrant, promising a lighthearted treatment to this familiar story. “I really enjoyed the script written by Navjot Gulati and Sumit Aroraa, the writer of Stree. I hope people appreciate our film as well,” he says.

The film will go on the floors on September 16 in Delhi. “Unfortunately, Yami wasn’t well, so the shoot got pushed by a couple of weeks. We will begin a start-to-finish two-month schedule now. We will be shooting in Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and some parts of Manali,” informs Vikrant who is looking forward to collaborating with Yami. “We have met for readings and rehearsals, and as we shoot day in and day out, the dynamics will only get better. Yami is a fantastic artiste and has had a great year with Uri.”

Vikrant is also excited to shoot a typical Bollywood dance number for the first time in his career. “I can dance a bit as I used to work with Shiamak Davar in the past. And since we belong to the land of song and dance, it is a part of our culture. So yes, I can definitely dance to save my life,” he says.

His character in the film is of an amateur chef, however the actor affirms that he didn’t need to prep much. “You will see me in aprons and kitchen wear. I have always been pretty casual about my wardrobe and look, for the first time, I will be paying attention to my hair and make-up. I also have a typical Delhi accent in the film,” he avers, pointing out that the audience enjoys a lighthearted film which for a while helps them forget harsh realities making the genre popular.
