Writer-director Navjot Gulati's short film Best Girlfriend starring Kritika Kamra and Vikrant Massey has become a hit on the internet. Reportedly, the short has registered a big number of hits, inspiring the writer-director to plan a web-series called Local Girlfriend.
Asked if he expected this response, Navjot says, "Since Kritika and Vikrant are famous on television, I thought that would help the short get some mileage. But we had not expected to get so many hits, 12,20,000 at last count (February 17, 2015). Now I'm planning to make a webseries called Local Girlfriend. It's going to be a different idea and not related to Best Girlfriend. Let's see how people react to it."
Interestingly, the idea came from cinematographer Amit Roy, who's directorial debut RunningShaadi.Com featuring Amit Sadh and Taapse Pannu is written by Navjot. "Amit once told me about a this incident that happened with his friend, who, after being in a relationship for six months, discovered that she was an escort," he says, adding that Kritika, though a very good friend, wasn't his first choice. "The girl we had first chosen, couldn't make it. So Kritika came in at the last minute."
