When you think of Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK—the screenwriter, director and producer duo collectively known as Raj & DK—and their work, you think gritty but funny; raw but aesthetic; simple but also worldly-wise. The duo has always built varied worlds—zombies in Goa (Go Goa Gone), the bland superficial life of a secret NIA agent (The Family Man), or a tale of a counterfeiting businessman (Farzi)… And now a story of love and romance set in the 90s against the backdrop of crime and drugs in Uttarakhand.
When we meet the two, they are as relaxed and fun as their art. It takes a minute for them to get comfortable in front of the camera, and Raj explains, “Interviews I am fine with, it’s the posing that’s a problem.”
