In Thank You for Coming, Bhumi Pednekar plays Kanika, a woman in search for the man who gave her, her first orgasm
When I was wondering who to go with my three-page pitch, I could only think of Rhea [Kapoor],” says screenwriter Radhika Anand, “My idea was so ridiculous that I didn’t think any other producer [other] than her would have the ba**s to even hear it out. It was love at first sight.” That pitch manifested into Thank You for Coming, which released this Friday.
Starring Bhumi Pednekar and a host of social media creators such as Kusha Kapila and Dolly Alhuwalia, the film directed by Karan Boolani and produced by Rhea Kapoor is about women and their search for the elusive orgasm. “You were so happy last night [at the premiere],” Kapoor squeals excitedly at Anand, who has also written 2023’s Shilpa Shetty Kundra-starrer Sukhee. “I was going through a moment after Veere Di Wedding. I don’t even do that much press… you know me, you guys have seen me grow up since Aisha. I can’t make movies as projects or to make money,” says Kapoor. “I want my audiences to have fun, but the movies always have to have some intent. I can’t change my wiring; the only thing that keeps me sane is knowing I am being true to my heart. Radhika’s idea made me feel excitement and fear. I thought ‘OMG, this is the next step’.
