The movie is about three young people in today’s changing India trying to figure out what love, attraction and commitment mean to each of them. Raghu (Shushant Singh Rajput) needs a woman in his life -the rest he’s going to figure out along the way. Gayatri (Parineeti Chopra) has been around the block a few times and knows the scene. Tara (Vaani Kapoor) knows what’s right for her, but a little experimenting never did hurt anybody. When their lives crisscross, their beliefs get challenged, and their love tested. But it may not be as easy as it seems.
Speaking about her on screen character(Gayatri) ParineetiChopra states, “I play a completely different person in the film than who I am in real life. The decisions that Gayatri takes is not what I would take but I think that’s the beauty of cinema where you get a chance to play someone who is not you and still carry it off with conviction.”
Speaking about his experience of working with Parineeti Chopra, Sushant Singh Rajput states,“If you are working with such a spontaneous actor, you don’t think of much apart from staying in character and how you are going to react to a particular situation.” Adding on, Rishi Kapoor says, “Both Sushant and Parineetiare so spontaneous that you feel they are like the students of the ‘Spontaneity’ school and I personally love working with such actors.
Watch a story on a modern twist between love, attraction and commitmentduring the MAX Television Premiere of SHUDDH DESI ROMANCE on Saturday, 15thFebruary at 9PM and Sunday, 16th February at 1PM only on MAX.
