"Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon" marks the acting debut of stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma.
"We are sure if there is one space (genre) that we would not like to make is adult comedy films. We do not like vulgarity... We are not comfortable. There are glamorous roles in our films but they are not vulgar. We want to make family entertainers," the duo told PTI in an interview here.
The story of "Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon" came long back to the "Race" director but they were looking for the right time and the right actor.
"We heard the script of this film couple of years back from a writer. We loved it and found it entertaining. There was no buffoonery. We thought of making the film at the right time. Then "Race" and other films happened," Abbas Mastan said.
"We used to watch "Comedy Nights with Kapil" and liked him (Kapil). We asked the writer to narrate the story to Kapil and he too liked it and that is how the film happened," he said.
"We can't reveal too many details," they added.
Considering it's a light hearted fun film and the lead actor Kapil is known for his brilliant comic timing the director duo found it easy to direct him.
"He is spontaneous, he used to improvise on the sets. It was easy to work with him. We had great fun making the film and we did not realise when this 45 days of shoot got over. We are happy with the film and now it is ready for release," Abbas Mastan said.
