Writers Radhika and comic Prashasti on how Thank You for Coming’s starting point was what if Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s Raj-Simran were sexually incompatible

Like most of us, producer Rhea Kapoor, writer Radhika Anand and comic-turned-writer Prashasti Singh grew up adoring Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995). But in their first meeting, the writers were posed with a simple question by Kapoor: “Simran and Raj live happily ever after. Why has no one asked Simran if he could please her in bed?” That question resulted in Thank You for Coming. The Bhumi Pednekar-starrer revolves around a woman who has never experienced an orgasm. Anand says the film stems from her and her friends’ experiences. “Every relationship leaves an impact on you, and every time something doesn’t work out, you go into self-doubt. We delve into these subjects,” says Anand.
