Mumbai:
Director duo Raj Nidimoru andKrishna D K, who are looking forward to the release of theirzombie film Go Goa Gone, think that having an establishedactor like Saif Ali Khan will help them reach a wideraudience.
Go Goa Gone is being promoted as India's firstzomcom film and will see Saif as a Russian mafia don, who is alsoa zombie-hunter.
"By having a superstar in our film we primarily wanted to reach out to more people. Somebody who is not well acquainted with the Bollywood film industry will come to watch the film because of Saif. But the film also depends on its and not only on its cast," the director duo told PTI in an interview here.
"For this film, we felt we wanted a superstar. I think a superstar initially helps in bringingaudience to theatres for a film like this," he said.Saif's new look in the film has taken many bysurprise.
The actor is seen in an all-blonde look, beefed up, gottattoos painted on his body and learnt to speak Russianlanguage.
"He is a Russian mafia who arranges rave party. So Saifhas been given that kind of look...beefed up, blonde look,tattoos, etc. To try this look, the credit goes to Saif ashe had the guts to do something that is radically different,"the duo said.
The Nawab of Pataudi was the first and only choice forthe director duo.
Co-produced by Saif Ali Khan, Go Goa Gone is a storyabout two friends played by Kunal Khemu and Vir Das, whotravel to Goa with another friend Anand Tiwari.
When the trailer of the film was launched online, itgot over two million hits and both the directors are quitehappy about it.
"When we launched the trailer, we were anxious as theconcept is new. Our friends have liked it but we were waitingfor the reaction of others. But we are now really happylooking at the response. It is very encouraging," the duosaid.
"The first half of the film is comedy. There is an edge inthe film and that is brought by the zombies. To enjoy the film one shouldn't necessarily know about zombies. It is a kind of movie that will be enjoyed by all," they added.
