Ever since the teaser for Kunal Kemmu’s upcoming film Vibe dropped, people have assumed it is a spoof of recent Bollywood spy thrillers. Kunal’s character even name-drops ‘Pathaan and Tiger’ in the teaser, solidifying fans’ assumptions. The actor-director has now cleared the air on the same.
Kunal Kemmu’s Vibe
In a new interview, Kumal has said that Vibe is not a spoof or parody of any Bollywood film, and it only features dialogue about Pathaan and Tiger, as they are the most popular pop-culture references in the spy genre. In an interview with PTI, Kunal said, “I’ve had this story with me even before I became a director. I’ve narrated this to friends. I didn’t write it then because I didn’t know whether it would be made or not. At that point of time, Pathaan had definitely not come. But it was just about what this character would feel. It was not taking a swing at anybody. Like, it was genuinely saying that for this normal man, like if I get picked up, I will say, ‘you pick up somebody who’s good at this’,”
