Shubh Mangal Saavdhan Marks an Auspicious Debut in Hindi Films for Director Rs Prasanna
His Tamil directorial, Kalyana Samayal Saadham (KSS) was a runaway hit in 2013. Dealing with the taboo topic of erectile dysfunction, it was peppered with dollops of humour and a message. The Prasanna and Lekha Washington starrer won director RS Prasanna much fame and praise. So much so that he was picked up by producer Aanand L Rai to make the Hindi version, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (SMS), of the same film. And that flagged off the talented director’s journey in B-town.
Though the story about sexual impotency was a risky subject Prasanna says, “A couple of things went in our favour like awareness of the targeted audience. Vicky Donor and Dum Laga Ke Haisha, both offbeat subjects, had enjoyed audience acceptance in the past,” he says. Prasanna recalls that turning point of his life saying, “I remember calling my wife and saying, ‘I’m meeting Aanand L Rai. Is it a dream or reality?’” He adds, “There was something about Aanand sir that assured me that here’s a person I could connect with. He cautioned me that the remake would take time and that I'd to be patient.”
