After the success of Madagaon Express (2024), Kunal Kemmu is back in the director's chair for Vibe. The upcoming action comedy is set to open in theatres on September 18.
In the upcoming film, Kemmu stars alongside Laapataa Ladies-fame Sparsh Shrivastava as Bugs, partner to Kemmu's character Hardik. Speaking about castinig Sparsh, Kunal said, "In all honesty, he doesn’t fit the part as is, so I moulded it a little bit because as an actor I know you can. I don’t believe you know when people lot of times, say you cannot pull off something like this. I think if you’re a good actor, you can pull it off unless it’s not your age. If the director has one particular physicality in mind or bohot action hai but isne kabhi action hi nai kiya hai ya physically utna strong nai hai, those aspects I get it, which also actors can mould yourself for. But for me, he was younger than the part, so I made the part younger, and I made the relationship between them slightly different from how it was initially imagined."
Kunal added, "Only because I thought that he is an interesting actor and it was a different part from what he had done before. And I like to do that with actors, when you know people always see them ki yeh aisa kar raha hai; you always get cast for the same thing. I actually like to cast somebody who doesn’t fit that part in the so-called, you know, how you’d imagine to see them. So that’s what excited me, and I think that’s why Sparsh was an immediate choice for Bugs.”
The cast of Vibe includes Preity G Zinta, Sparsh Shrivastava, and Vanshika Dhir, Yashpal Sharma, and Dinesh Lal Yadav.
Kunal and Chirag Nihalani are producing the upcoming film under the Drongo Films banner.
