Nisha Rawal: I don't think people are bored of comedies

HASTEY HASTEY - The title itself indicates that the film is meant to be a laugh ride all the way.

With 2007 doing exceedingly well for comedies and 2008 also supporting two comedy successes - ONE TWO THREE and KRAZZY 4, isn't there a fear that eventually audience may become bored of comedies. Won't they be looking at some variety in the offering?

Negates Nisha Rawal, the debutant leading lady of the film, "I don't think comedy can ever go out of fashion. Agreed that 2007 was extra special for comedies but I somehow have a feeling that 2008 would be even better."

What's the reason behind her positive thought? "Well, a comedy too can come in different flavours. There could be language comedies, sex comedies or even kid comedies. This way HASTEY HASTEY is a different kind of comedy as the script is such that it leads to numerous funny situations happen in the lives of its lead characters", elaborates Nisha.

Since the film seems like a fun ride all the way, what has been her contribution to the comedy quotient?

"Well, frankly speaking, my character doesn't really do much comedy as my role is more on the romantic side. But you have to see Rajpal Yadav to believe it. He gets the house down with his triple role act. It's a great show by him."

However, film's lead Jimmy Sheirgill insists - "The film is not just a laugh-laugh show all the way. It has some real emotional moments as well, especially towards the second half. It won't really categorize it as a full-on comedy flick and rather call it a 'masala' flick which has something for everyone. I also like Anu Malik's music for the film, especially 'Almadad' by Zubin Garg. It is my favorite song from the album."

Bollywood actress Nisha Rawal Was kissed by Jimmy Shergill

Jimmy Shergill has broken his own rule of conduct! The actor apparently has a strict no-kissing policy when it comes to his co-stars. This titbit came to light when he downright refused to kiss Nandana Sen for a scene in Strangers. So, how come he has happily locked lips with Nisha Rawal in their upcoming release, Hastey Hastey? “Look closely and see if it’s really a kiss,” he smiles mysteriously.

At the film’s music launch, Jimmy and his debutant co-stars Nisha and Monishka, were in top form promoting the album. “Anu Malik has given us great music,” says Jimmy. “The album includes all kinds of songs.” Nisha adds, “The music will motivate everyone who hears it, especially the youth.

The film itself is youth-oriented, of the candy-floss kind.”
