Actress Shweta Basu Prasad tries comedy in the upcoming film ‘Comedy Couple’. The experience of working in a comedy made her realise every genre comes with its charm and challenges. “Every genre has its charm and challenges. Comedy is challenging because you have to make people laugh and I feel laughing and crying are strong emotions. So, if it is a well-written script half the job is done,” Shweta said. As an artist, she keeps certain things in mind.
“Also, as a performer you have to keep in mind the thin line between overdoing and underdoing things. It could be a great joke but if you overdo it, it might not work,” she said. “It is, of course, a collaborative effort between co-actors and that matters a lot in the comedy genre. The execution matters a lot, too,” she said. The film is being billed a comedy romance, or comrom. “I have never done an out-and-out com-rom as they call it,” said Shweta, about the film that casts her as a stand-up comedian. She had a great time on the set.
“There were times we were actually rolling on the floor and laughing on jokes and scenes that we were doing. I hope it makes the audience laugh too,” she claimed. ‘Comedy Couple’ which also has Saqib Saleem opposite Shweta will drop on Zee5 soon.
