About Vicky Kaushal-starrer 'Bad Newz'

Anand Tiwari's directorial venture is a comedy centred on the rare medical condition, heteropaternal superfecundation, where a woman gets pregnant with twins from different men.

Tarun Dudeja, screenplay writer, remembers being introduced to the story, penned by Ishita Moitra, three years ago. "There was a newspaper article about this case in China. She, along with Somen Mishra, who is a creative producer at Dharma Productions, built a world around it. Anand and I took that and kept experimenting with it. The idea was to bring a flavour of the '90s comedies, while keeping it realistic and [rooted in] emotions so that it feels logical. We all love '90s comedies, but today's audience is evolved. So, we had to maintain a balance [between comedy and emotions]. Writing a comedy is always tough, especially cracking dialogues. But Anand put in a lot of work with me to get the punches out. We were also aware that emotional scenes and conflicts needed to be written sensitively," he told Mid-day.
