Dinesh shared some details about the two characters and the film. “The story will travel from Mathura to Gwalior and Agra. Kartik plays the star reporter of a local TV channel in Mathura.” Kriti plays a Mathura girl who goes to Delhi to study and then returns to her hometown. “While Kartik is the quintessential good boy every girl wants to take home to mamma, Kriti represents today’s youth who advocate gender equality and have their own ideology,” Dinesh shares.

Kriti is originally from Delhi, Kartik is a Gwalior boy. “The dialogues have a touch of the local dialect and being from the region, both are familiar with the setting and the lingo.” This primarily prompted Vijan to get them on board. “They also have a crackling chemistry,” he added.

Dinesh recently wrapped up another romcom titled ‘Arjun Patiala’ which also stars Kriti, along with Diljit Dosanjh and Varun Sharma.

Dinesh started his filmmaking journey with ‘Cocktail’ which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty. The movie was set in UK, but since then he has been making films rooted in India. From Irrfan Khan’s Delhi-based social-drama ‘Hindi Medium’, to the horror-comedy ‘Stree’ which was filmed in Chanderi are instances to the same. Dinesh reasons, “My films have always been content-centric and real India is in these small towns. That’s where the stories are. And well-told desi stories have a terrific connect with every kind of audience, going by the super success of Hindi Medium not just back home but also in a country like China where Hindi is not even their medium of communication.”

‘Luka Chuppi’ will also be Laxman Utekar’s directorial debut, who has been the DoP of ‘Hindi Medium’ among other films. Produced under the banner of Maddock Films, the film will roll in August this year.
