Poster Boys will pay tribute to Hrishikesh Mukherjee

Featuring the Deol brothers, Poster Boys is scheduled to release on September 8.

Shreyas Talpade, who is all set to make his debut as a director with the Sunny and Bobby Deol starrer Poster Boys, reveals that the film is a tribute to the legendary comic film director Hrishikesh Mukherjee.

“He was a major influence in my life. One thing that I have learned from his work is that a film needs to be entertaining; it should have all the elements of drama, emotion and humour. It should be a mix of everything. I have tried to incorporate all these elements in my film,” says Shreyas. “I have tried to keep the narrative simple. It is funny in places, so in a way it is a tribute to the great filmmaker.”

Poster Boys is the official remake of Shreyas’ production venture in Marathi, Poshter Boyz, based on three characters, who find their pictures on a vasectomy poster.

The film deals with the sensitive subject in an entertaining way. However, Shreyas makes it clear that, as a director, he would want to stick to making only family entertainers.

“I don’t think I will be too comfortable directing a sex comedy. I’ve tried my hand at all kinds of genres as an actor. I might act in a sex comedy, but I don’t think I will direct one. I prefer to be in the space of family entertainer,” the 41-year-old said.

Featuring the Deol brothers, Poster Boys is scheduled to release on September 8.
