Actor RJ Balaji who sat down for promotional interviews had promised the audience that the drama will be a complete wholesome family drama. Even in a press release made by the actor yesterday, he has reassured it. Talking about the flick, he said, “Badhaai Ho is a blockbuster film in Bollywood. The entertainer had a massive positive response from a wide range of audience for its fresh and entertaining content. When we choose to remake the flick, we were careful not to completely stick to the script of the original. So, we made certain changes to the plot to suit the taste of our audience. I am glad that the producer of the drama Boney Kapoor, and Raahul are happy with the changes that are made to the script. The entertainer was recently screened to the Zee Studios team in Mumbai. It was exciting to know that the team enjoyed the film. At this moment I thank everyone who has been a part of the unit. Especially my co-director and co stars. They have been a big support.”
Continuing further, he shared, “Veetla Vishesham is a complete wholesome family drama. We wanted a family audience to enjoy the flick in theaters. That is why we picked the summer holidays to release the movie.” The Hindi version of Veetla Vishesham was helmed by filmmaker Amit Ravindrenath Sharma with actors Ayushmann Khurranna, Neena Gupta, and Sanya Malhotra in the lead roles. The film tells the tale of a middle-aged couple that accidentally get pregnant, which puts their son and family members in an uncomfortable spot.
For those who had already watched the original it would be interesting to see as to what changes have been made to the plot. Actor RJ Balaji has co-written the script along with his long-time associate NJ Saravanan. The duo had teamed up for Mookuthi Amman previously.
