Bollywood’s first comedy in 3D, Welcome to New York, is a laughter riot to be enjoyed by all, says Lara Dutta, who is part of the cast of the multi-starrer.
Lara Dutta says, “shooting for the movie has been a blast. We didn’t know that it was going to be in 3D when we were shooting it.”
“Well, I guess it’s thrice the fun for audiences watching in the theatres. It has been a blast shooting the film.”
Dutta also said that it was first time a Bollywood film was created around a real-life event, in this case the IIFA Awards held in New York – hence the name of the movie.
“It’s an interesting concept as for the first time a bit of real life activity features in a film.”
Dutta says the story of Welcome to New York revolves around two commoners who dream of making it big in the film industry.
“And they get an opportunity to be part star-studded events, rub shoulders with stars, and just the journey that these two people make, and what it is actually like for somebody who is not part of the industry, who always dreams of what it’s like.
“I think the audience will get a very clear insight into what that world is like.”
Movie maker Karan Johar returns to the screen with Welcome to New York in a double role – as Karan and Arjun.
“I’ve done some multi-starrers before, but this movie is totally and completely different, it has some of the biggest names in the Bollywood who have made an appearance in this film,” Dutta says.
“A laughter riot – big stars making fun of each other, no egos involved.
“It was a great experience.”
Welcome to New York also stars Diljit Dosanjh, Sonakshi Sinha, Ritiesh Deshmukh, Boman Irani, Sushant Singh Rajput, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Rana Daggubati.
Preity Zinta, Salman Khan, Tiger Shroff, Sunil Shetty, Shahid Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Mohit Sinha, Kriti Sanon, Tapsee Pannu, and Disha Patani feature in cameo appearances.
