Shoojit Sircar is bringing Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao together for a mythological comedy. This is a shift from his earlier films, as he aims to explore humour in a fresh way.
According to an insider, Shoojit plans to present a new style of comedy that has never been tried before. The film will highlight an important part of the Mahabharata in a light and funny tone. The team believes the approach will offer a different experience for viewers.
The film is expected to go on floors next year. Shoojit wants to use comedy wisely while staying true to the core mythology. He also aims to add modern elements to make it relatable.
Online users are now wondering whether this is the right move. Many feel that even small creative choices can hurt sentiments in the current environment. They recall how Tandav faced backlash and had to remove a scene.
Blending comedy with mythology will surely create a unique attempt. The main concern is whether minor errors could lead to restrictions or objections during release.
Even if the film avoids controversies, Manoj and Rajkummar alone may not pull massive crowds. Their films work mainly when the content is strong and appealing to all age groups.
It appears that Shoojit is trying to make a commercial entertainer. Since this is not his usual zone, there is a chance the effort may divide audiences. People may not expect him to deliver a full-fledged mass entertainer that viewers rush to theatres for.
Box office performance will matter as well. Reaching Rs. 100 crores or more will not be easy for this type of film. Further updates will help in understanding its potential.
