Vicky Donor (Hindi: Hindi) is an upcoming 2012 Bollywood romantic comedy film directed by Shoojit Sircar and starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Yami Gautam and Annu Kapoor in the lead roles. The film is set to release on May 11, 2012.[2] The film is the first production of actor John Abraham's home production house John Abraham Entertainment.[3]
Production
Themes and development
Vicky Donor deals with the concept of sperm donation and infertility.[4] When questioned about the risky subject matter, Abraham responded "Basically, Vicky Donor is a romantic comedy between a Punjabi boy and a Bengali girl. But the concept is set against the background of sperm donation." Abraham hoped that the film could shed light on a serious issue still considered "taboo" in Indian society. Sircar said, "I want to take a light-hearted look at the taboo attached to infertility and artificial insemination." Before filming began, Sircar researched upon the plot themes for three years.[5]
Production
Despite the usual trend, Abraham did not take up the leading role in the film: "It was a conscious decision to not act in my first production because I believe producing a film is about creating quality content that I believe in."[6] Director Sircar suggested Khurrana, a video jockey and television host, for the role of Vicky; he was considered because he was popular among the youth, and also because the role required an authentic Punjabi characterization. Khurrana said, "[And] I am from Chandigarh, my Punjabi is fluent. I can read and write in it too."[7][5] Khurrana turned down three film projects to play the lead in Vicky Donor. To prepare for the role, he met several medical experts and donors to understand the concept of sperm donation; a major medical consultant specializing in the field was later inducted as a medical adviser for the film. Additionally, Khurrana studied acting and attended workshops with N.K. Sharma in Delhi.[5] It was later reported that Abraham would perform an "item number" in the film.[8] Commenting on the lead's performance, Abraham said "I am glad I cast Ayushmann in the lead. He's a complete natural, has all the trappings of a fine actor and has delivered a super performance. It doesn't seem like Vicky Donor is his first film." It was reported that the film's production crew would feature "the best technicians from Los Angeles", and acclaimed action choreographer J J Perry.[6]
