‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ not inspired by Hollywood movie ‘Sex Tape’: director Raaj Shaandilyaa

The filmmaker, best known for the ‘Dream Girl’ franchise headlined by Ayushmann Khurrana, said he hasn’t even seen the 2014 film featuring Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz

Director Raaj Shaandilyaa says his upcoming film “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video”, starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, has nothing to do with the Hollywood film “Sex Tape”.

The filmmaker, best known for the "Dream Girl" franchise headlined by Ayushmann Khurrana, said he hasn't even seen the 2014 film featuring Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz.

"Vicky Vidya..." follows the titular married couple on a frantic search of a CD with a video of their wedding night, whereas "Sex Tape" revolves around a married couple who make a sex tape to spice up their relationship only to wake up the next morning to find that it has gone missing.

Shaandilyaa said he found out that there was a film called "Sex Tape" after the trailer launch of "Vicky Vidya...", which is set in the 1990s.

"Someone asked me on Twitter, ‘Is this film like ‘Sex Tape’? I’m like, ‘There’s no sex in our film'. I was told by one of our writers that in that film their video goes viral on the Internet. The video in our film is made by the couple and they lose the CD because of their negligence.

"The characters and story are different. Our film has nothing to do with ‘Sex Tape’. I’ve not even seen ‘Sex Tape’. I didn’t get inspired by it, rather I got inspired by life and the people around me,” the director told PTI in an interview here.

He is already working on the sequel of "Vicky Vidya...", which will be set around the early days of the Internet.
