Vicky Kaushal, the star of films such as Masaan and Raman Raghav 2.0, has done his first romantic comedy Love Per Square Foot and the actor says it was a “tricky shift” for him. 

“I realised the gravity of doing comedy (with this film). It is about getting the timing right. I am thankful to my (debutant) director Anand Tiwari who guided me as this was an alien space for me. I feel I am a better actor after working on this romcom,” Vicky, who made debuted with Masaan that led him to being typecast initially. 

Love Per Square Foot is a quirky romantic comedy about two people (Vicky and Angira Dhar) who enter a marriage of convenience to buy a flat in Mumbai.

“After Masaan, I got 8-10 scripts that were about a guy who belongs to UP. The filmmakers start looking you into that light or dark zone as they feel that is your strong point. I don’t mind it (being typecast) as I feel that I have done my work well. After this film, if people think I am good at doing romcoms, that would be a victory for me,” he said, adding he could relate to the story as it portrays “the dreams of today’s generation and the values of yesteryear’s generation”. 

The film also features veterans Ratna Pathak Shah, Supriya Pathak and Raghuvir Yadav in key roles.
