Go Goa Gone team has all the right reasons to rejoice. Within a week of going online, the film's promo has crossed more than 2 million views. While the film's zany look and presentation has caught attention, the zomcom feel has further managed to make inroads beyond the target audience. No wonder, the makers are a pleased lot. Says Raj Nidimoru of Raj-Krishna duo, "We knew that we had a very cool trailer in hand. As a matter of fact, we have been itching to put it out there for a while now. However, we didn't expect this kind of amazing and spontaneous response. This is fantabulous." Moreover, with the film's promos yet to hit satellite channels, the team is thrilled with everything already in hand and is keeping fingers crossed for more.
With Saif Ali Khan's unique characterization of a Russian Mafioso (who swears in Dilli-ki-boli) finding much attention for itself, one waits to see what's more is in store. "Exactly my point", exclaims Raj, "There is much more than what has been seen so far. There is a lot of context to the proceedings. With thumbs up coming in, I am now very excited and looking forward to the film's release." With just a little over a month remaining for Go Goa Gone, which is produced by Saif Ali Khan, Dinesh Vijan and Sunil Lulla, it is time for all involved to up the ante.
However before that the director duo, which has already won quite some brownie points with Shor In The City and 99, is settling down to the fact that a unique subject like this has actually managed to make itself noticeable amidst a crowd of other biggies which is fast swelling up this Summer. "I was naturally quite anxious to see the kind of response Go Goa Gone would generate. Especially so, since we were unleashing something new on the public for the first time", says Krishna, Raj's partner in direction, "A lot of time, effort and research have gone into making sure that we get every zombie right and every performance just perfect.
I am quite thrilled already since what we have got so far is much more than what we could have asked for." With youngsters Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, Anand Tiwari and Puja Gupta chilling out on the sandy beaches of Goa even as Saif brings on some chilling encounters while being on a killing spree, the zomcom is fast catching pace. "Well, it only goes to show that the novelty of the subject is something that will appeal to a wide audience. Fingers crossed", say Raj-Krishna in unison before signing off.
