Naman Ramachandran Indian actor Anil Kapoor, known globally for his roles in “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” has a raft of projects lined up.First up is Viacom18 Studios and Dharma Productions’ “Jug Jugg Jeeyo,” directed by Raj Mehta (“Good Newwz”), which is due a June 24 release.
The film follows a father and son pair who are considering divorcing their respective spouses, but hold the news back because of impending family festivities.“Sometimes in a serious situation, you feel it is serious, but the way it has been written, the way the storytelling is, it’s very funny,” Kapoor told Variety. “It’s a situational comedy.
It’s an entertainer, it’s a family film, it’s all about divorce. And that’s what it is, you go enjoy yourself and have fun.” During the pandemic, Indian audiences have been exposed to a lot of global content via streamers to the point where a mainstream Bollywood comedy with big stars on a hitherto seriously treated subject like divorce is now acceptable.
Besides Kapoor, the film features fellow A-listers Neetu Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani.“I’ve never underestimated the Indian audience,” says Kapoor, adding that the reaction to the trailer, which has gathered nearly four million views on YouTube, has been encouraging.“No matter what the subject, what the story is, it might be serious, it might be fun, it might be entertaining, if you’ve done it truthfully, people will like it, people will lap it up – at least you want them to.
