Romantic
comedy
is
one
of
the
most
exploited
genres
in
Bollywood
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
comes
with
a
good
baggage
of
such
movies
but
director
Raj
Nidimoru
believes
the
actor's
familiarity
with
rom-com
is
actually
a
blessing
for
their
upcoming
release
Happy
Ending.
"We
were
aware
that
Saif
comes
with
a
good
baggage
of
romantic
comedies
and
love
stories.
So,
we
figured
out
that
he
is
the
right
person
to
have
a
take
on
them.
He
plays
a
scriptwriter
in
the
film
who
is
against
such
stories
but
has
to
write
one," Raj
told.
Raj
and
his
co-collaborator
Krishna
DK,
best
known
for
their
projects
like
99,
Shor
In
The
City
and
Go
Goa
Gone,
found
a
willing
partner
in
Saif,
who
was
keen
to
work
with
them
again
after
the
success
of
the
zombie
comedy.
"Our
sense
of
humour
is
very
similar.
Saif
is
one
actor
who
completely
gives
in
to
the
character.
He
will
never
say
no
to
doing
something
on
screen.
It
was
a
joy
to
watch
him
bring
subtlety
and
freshness
to
a
genre
that
has
been
around
so
much."
Raj
says
the
movie,
releasing
this
Friday,
is
a
quirkier
take
on
the
genre
of
romantic
comedies
while
also
reflecting
on
their
nature.
"We
wanted
to
have
a
lighter
take
on
romantic
comedy.
The
film
is
very
aware
that
it
is
a
rom-com.
We
are
hitting
all
the
points
till
interval
but
despite
being
a
bona
fide
romantic
comedy,
it
goes
beyond.
"The
crux
of
every
rom-com
is
happy
ending.
But
there
is
also
this
thought
process
whether
there
is
anything
like
'happy
ending' because
end
is
always
sad,"
he
said.
The
film
has
Saif's
wife
Kareena
Kapoor
and
his
'Kal
Ho
Naa
Ho'
co-star
Preity
Zinta
in
cameo
appearances.
"It
is
very
gracious
of
such
established
stars
to
agree
for
a
cameo.
It
shows
how
secure
they
are.
Thankfully,
they
liked
their
characters
a
lot.
Kareena
and
Preity's
presence
lends
certain
authenticity
to
the
story.
Plus,
it
is
fun
to
see
real-life
couple
split
on
screen," Raj
said.
The
director
also
found
a
fun
way
to
include
Saif
in
a
cameo
role
in
his
own
film.
"We
were
to
bring
another
actor
for
the
part
but
then
we
thought
it
would
be
funny
if
Saif
does
the
cameo
in
his
own
movie.
The
role
of
Yogi
is
hilarious
and
a
complete
contrast
to
Saif's
role
as
Yudi."
