Medha Shankr and Avinash Tiwary are preparing for the release of their film Ginny Weds Sunny 2. As the release date approaches, their off screen interaction and conversations have started getting attention. In a recent interview, both actors spoke about the film, their views on relationships, and their respect for each other’s work.
The film is set to release on April 24 and continues the story from Ginny Weds Sunny. It focuses on two people from different backgrounds whose lives come together in unexpected ways. Through their journey, the film looks at ideas of love, compatibility, and relationships.
Avinash Tiwary shared that the script was the main reason he chose the film. He said, “I think it’s the script that made me really, really jump with joy. It felt like this is one film my entire family would absolutely sit down and watch and thoroughly enjoy. That was one thing that really touched me.” Medha Shankr also spoke about the script and said, “I think the script is damn fun. Like, I haven’t laughed like that while reading a script in a very long time. So, I was sold on that.”
The actors also discussed how the film connects with present day relationships. Avinash mentioned a change in how people view marriage today. “I’ll give you a stat I read somewhere that the marriage percentage has fallen down by almost 28% in this country, which was absolutely known for celebrating weddings and stuff like that. It’s a worthy thing to think about,” he said. He added, “Our film kind of touches upon it. And then also the fact that eventually love triumphs over all the rational that we may have… relationships take a lot of work just like marriage does.”
Both actors also spoke about their appreciation for each other. Medha said, “I feel with Avinash, that there is too much depth in the love his fans have for him… there’s width in the number of fans you have, but not always depth. He has that.” Avinash shared his thoughts after watching 12th Fail, saying, “I saw 12th Fail. I saw her. The film ended. And I said, I’ll work with her. That’s what happened to me. So, I think I was a fan right there.”
Medha also mentioned her admiration for Laila Majnu. “I’m an OG Laila Majnu fan, by the way. I take full pride. I watched the film twice in a theatre. Nobody else did. Not even these guys,” she said.
Talking about the shoot, Avinash recalled a moment when the team travelled together by train and celebrated during the journey. He said, “There was this one time we got the entire train on rent when we were shooting. And on our way back, we were jumping and dancing through the entire trip. We had huge speakers, the entire crew, everyone dancing in the train. I don’t think we get a chance to do that in normal life. So, I think it was an experience that everyone thoroughly remembers and will remember for life.”
