Expect Rajkummar Rao to find a novel story and throw his weight behind it. The actor says that the ingenious theme of Hum Do Hamare Do that revolves around renting a family, a concept fairly popular in Japan, drew him to the project. That, and the fact that it has no reference point in India. “I have always strived to break conventional ideas. [We are] presenting an idea that has not been spoken about."
"When I first heard the story, I wondered, ‘Why can’t it become a norm in India as well?’ There are so many lonely old people out there, and so many lonely [youngsters]. They can come together to become a family,” begins Rao, when we chat with him on Sunday morning. But making the idea palatable in India can be difficult, especially since the concept of family here is intrinsically linked to blood relations. “We aren’t trying to be preachy with this film, but it’s possible that lonely people can complete each other by simply being together.”
