Director
Mohit
Suri
has
been
dating
actress
Udita
Goswami
for
some
years
now.
The
couple
has
had
its
ups
and
downs.
But
the
duo
has
been
together
long
enough
to
be
sure
that
they
want
to
spend
their
life
together.
Mohit
is
all
set
to
get
married
to
Udita,
but
on
one
condition.
His
film
on
racism
in
Australia
Crook
It's
Good
To
Be
Bad
becomes
a
success.
Absurd
reason
for
a
long-standing
relationship
to
be
solemnized?
Not
in
this
practical
day
and
age.
Reasons
Suri,
"I
need
money
to
support
the
lifestyle
Udita
is
used
to.
There's
no
point
in
getting
married
and
then
thinking
of
practical
matters.
So
yes,
Crook
has
to
be
a
success.
The
day
it's
declared
a
hit,
I'll
propose
to
her.
Then
the
ball
is
in
her
court." Apparently,
Udita
has
been
praying
hard
for
the
film
to
succeed.
Strangely
she
was
absent
from
the
first
screening
of
Crook
on
Wednesday
night
for
friends
and
family.
Explains
Suri,
"The
screening
was
for
the
cast
and
crew.
Udita
will
watch
the
film
soon."
Though
Crook
is
about
racism
in
Australia,
Mohit
is
wary
of
the
film
being
branded
socio-politically
purposeful.
Considering
the
fate
of
political
films
like
Rahul
Dholakia's
Lamhaa,
one
can't
really
blame
Suri
for
wanting
to
get
the
film
away
from
the
political
tag.
