After doing a slew of comedies, Sunny Singh is attempting something that has the potential of changing his image as a performer. Giving him a new direction with Ricky Romeo is writer-director Abir Sengupta, who is currently enjoying rediscovering his film in the post-production. The movie’s genre is a combination of neo-noir, comedy, and tragedy. The filmmaker says that mixing the three genres gives a refreshing spin to exploring heartbreak in the film.
“Sometimes, you feel your heart is broken, but did it really break? You don’t even know. Time not only heals your wounds but also reveals that it was all about closure, not a broken heart. The film captures the journey of self-discovery in the most unusual way. It’s a dark idea, but it has colours. We are trying to find humour in a dark situation,” says Sengupta, who also produces the film along with his business partner Anushree Mehta under Jaadugar Films, in association with Priyanka Mehrotra and Rameshchandra Yadav of PR Motion Pictures.
