Zoya Akhtar has been one of the early birds in Indian digital entertainment, giving us the nuanced Made in Heaven (2019). If the web series studied the many failings and hypocrisies of love, her upcoming show is a younger and lighter take on romance. Eternally Confused and Eager for Love, directed by Rahul Nair, traces the awkward Ray’s struggles in finding a partner despite a plethora of dating apps.
Considering the story hinged on Ray’s romantic misadventures, Akhtar — who, along with Reema Kagti, serves as the producer — says they auditioned extensively for the male lead, finally zeroing in on Vihaan Samat. “Finding Ray was key because he is the show. We needed someone endearing and attractive, but at the same time, he couldn’t be so attractive that [it would make you question] why he is in such a dilemma at all. He had to have a lot of heart, but had to make you feel as though he could be an ordinary boy. We weren’t getting [the right fit] until we found Vihaan,” she states.
