New Delhi, Oct 25 (PTI) Actress Sonal Sehgal says her
upcoming film 'Damadamm' is a light hearted romantic comedy in
the genre of 'Guddi', 'Gol Maal' and 'Bawarchi' made by
yesteryear's director Hrishikesh Mukherjee.
'Damadamm', debut directorial of Swapna Waghmare, stars
Himesh Reshammiya in the lead role and is his fifth film
after the back-to-back flops 'Aap Kaa Surroor', 'Karzz',
'Radio' and 'Kajraare'.

"The fun flavour of the film will remind you of 'Khatta
Meetha', 'Baaton Baaton Mein', 'Khoobsurat' etc., all of which
were comedies but there was no silly act or slapstick there.
In 'Damadamm' too you will neither see any sequences that
don't make any sense whatsoever or any ridiculous jokes that
only make you cringe in your seat," Sonal told PTI.
The actress who has worked with Reshammiya before in
'Radio', says that there was a instant bonding and comfort
level that she shared with the composer-actor and co-star
Purbi Joshi.
"If you share a good comfort level with the people
involved in the making of a film, it reflects on screen.
Whether it was Himesh, Purbi Joshi or Swapna, there was no
place for ego or one up-manship. It was one big fun outing and
there was no tension whatsoever," she added.
The film follows the story of a common man (Himesh) who
has a nagging girlfriend (Purbi). However he starts seeing a
different meaning of love when he comes across another girl
(Sonal).
Though 'Ra.One's' release is the biggest thing this
Diwali, Sonal says she is not nervous for her film, which
releases on the same day.
"Even if I wasn't associated with 'Damadamm', I would
have still wanted to watch it since the film looks so fresh.
There is this definite sincerity and honestly in 'Damadamm'
which makes it look so interesting.
"Of course I would want to watch 'Ra.One' as well. As an
audience why should I, or for that matter anyone, be forced to
make any choice whatsoever?," Sehgal said.
Sonal also talked about Reshammiya's character in the
movie saying it was just apt for him.
"He was completely effortless playing Sameer. When we had
worked together in 'Radio', it was a relatively far more
serious film and dealt with complex relationships. On the
other hand 'Damadamm' is far more fun oriented," she said.
The actress, who is married to Naresh Kamath, member of
the band Kailasa, says that being married doesn't affect her
acting career.
Naresh has no hang ups when it comes to my career. He
knows that I have been an actress. Moreover he is himself so
busy with his band that he would rather prefer I keep
working," she said. PTI
