Meaning it is not American
Pie, as stressed by actor Ritesh Deshmukh. He recently spoke about his new
film De Taali, comparing it with his previous films and indicating that it is a
family film.
"Not at all, De Taali isn't set in an 'American Pie' mode at all. In fact it is far away from it."
When asked if American Pie meant sexual innuendo, Riteish replies,
"To a good extent, yes, Not that my films in the past haven't boasted of humor belonging to such genre. Masti, Kya Kool Hain Hum, and Apna Sapna Money Money have indeed treaded this path. However, (director) E Niwas ' treatment here is set differently which places De Taali in a genre different from the films that I mention. "
He continues to say that the film is a thinking comedy, centering on friendship and romance (obviously) but actors don't have to get hurt, maimed or stabbed during the course of the movie to entertain the audience. De Taali relies on witty lines rather than the proverbial pie in the face.
The movie is said to bear similarities to Dawson's Creek and involves Aftab Shivdasani, Ayesha Takia, and Rimi Sen alongside Riteish. It’ll be coming to a screen near you on 20th June…or never if you live somewhere where they don’t show Hindi movies. In that case, tough luck.
