This Friday two films from very different genres will fight it out at the box office. Saif Ali Khan's zombie comedy will clash with a teenage drama 'Gippi'. Saif Ali Khan has turned blonde for his new film 'Go Goa Gone'-a first of its kind zom-com in India. Vir Das, Kunal Khemu and Anand Tiwary find themselves surrounded by zombies in the remote in Goa.






On the other hand, Sonam Nair's new film 'Gippi' is a teenage drama, a genre not much explored in Bollywood. 'Gippi' is primarily the story of an overweight 13-year-old girl, who hates the idea of dieting.

Fourteen-year-old Riya Vij plays the title role of Gurpreet Kaur aka Gippi, who is learning new things while growing up and adapting to changes.

Actor-producer Saif Ali Khan is treading new territories with "Go Goa Gone" - a zombie comedy, after making romance-based entertainers like "Love Aaj Kal" and "Cocktail", but he's quite sure he won't ever make a "sleazy" comedy.



There's a thin line between "naughty" and "sleazy", he believes.

Why is comedy all about sleaze nowadays?

"Everything should have a representative, I guess! So, also have a branch of comedy, which is sleazy, but I suppose there is an audience for that as well. There are different kinds of people in our country, and you've got to cater to all."

"But I don't think I want to make a sleazy film. I'd rather make a naughty one," the 42-year-old told over phone from Mumbai.

"Go Goa Gone", his production and acting venture, releases May 10. Starring Kunal Kemmu, Vir Das and Anand Tiwari in key roles, the movie, as Saif believes, is a "naughty" kind!

Narrating a scene from the movie, he said: "There's a scene in which Kunal's character goes and buys condoms. The shopkeeper asks him, 'So what kind of condoms do you want?' and then Kunal's character says, 'Well, the ones for having sex!'



"So this, I think is naughty and funny, but not sleazy."

While the movie has been heavily promoted as a 'zombie' film, Saif says it's not all that "zombie".

"It's a very urban movie, it's a funny one and not aimed at buying anyone into the theory of the zombie. It is essentially a story of these three boys and their ridiculous adventures. So, I think it's nice if we can just laugh a little bit without thinking what's a zombie and all of that," he said.

The idea behind "Go Goa Gone" was also to cater to the audience which wants "new and exciting" genres and storylines.

"The audience is ready and maturing. So it is up to us now to give them the content. I remember Kunal (Kemmu) came up to me with this script, and said this is a comedy about zombies. At first I was apprehensive to try something new, to produce something new, but then when I read the script, I laughed out loud quite a number of times."

"I believe the audience will laugh too," Saif said.



The budget for the film, he said, was "not very much". But he promises they haven't "cheated" the audience.

He said the crew shot a lot on beaches and in jungles of Mauritius, besides getting Hollywood experts to work on the zombies' make-up. Saif's own look is different in the film - he sports blonde locks.

"I liked the idea," he said.

Bollywood Actor Saif Ali Khan promotes 'Go Goa Gone' at the IPL 6 Extra Time. Lets see the promotion of the upcoming bollywood cinema 'Go Goa Gone' at the IPL 6 Extra Time.

Go Goa Gone is definitely an uncommon mixture of hilarious comedy, camaraderie, slick action and zombies. Raj says, “A zombie film in Hindi was unheard of till then.” DK adds, “But we had been certain that this really is the film we would like to make right after Shor in the City.”

Saif Ali Khan, who has acted and made the film, play Boris who is a Russian Mafia Lord. “I loved Boris in the very first time I discovered him. He’s tough and cool, but additionally really funny. He has an excellent heart and is brave. The dynamics between him and the boys is hysterical. I was really excited to play Boris the zombie hunter as well as happier to generate this film,” says Saif.

Dinesh Vijan, Producer, Illuminati Films explains, “There hasn’t been a character like Boris or possibly a notion like this on Indian screens. That is specifically what got us excited to produce this film. The zombies will keep you on the edge of the seat plus the humor will make you fall of it – generating it a zombie comedy… a ZOM-COM! Hopefully it’ll be a genre defining film for us.”

“We have usually liked being related to cinema that is a keeper. Go Goa Gone is going to be that a single film you can find challenging to neglect and would desire to go back and watch. It really is always about taking the following step within the film business and we are glad we’re a portion of this project,” says Sunil Lulla, Producer, Eros International Media Ltd.
