Mody Blues

Raghuvendra Singh chats up the new 100-crore writer on the block

He’s co-written the superhit films Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (2015) and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). But few would know that the talented Rahul Mody always wanted to be a businessman. So, after an engineering diploma, he joined his father’s metal fabrication business. Around the same time his sister joined Subhash Ghai’s film school – Whistling Woods International Institute in Goregaon East. It was his duty to drop and pick her up every day. “After dropping my sister, I’d trespass all kinds of shoots going around in the Film City complex. The chaos was infectious. I remember the song Marjani from Billu being shot and I’d watch it everyday. On day three, a security guy greeted me like I was an insider,” he smiles.
