The trailer of RS Prasanna’s film Shubh Mangal Saavdhan received a positive response. It’s the remake of his Tamil hit Kalyana Samayal Saadham. The film is produced by Aanand L Rai. The Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar starrer deals with the issue of erectile dysfunction, which is still a taboo in our country. RS Prasanna, talked about the film where he stated, “What’s the fun in talking about erectile dysfunction if I make it vulgar? It’s stupid because the more risky the idea, the more you have to make it digestible. It is extremely critical to the health of the film that it be funny and sweet." He added, “As soon as my movie released in Chennai, within 20 days, I had an offer in hand to direct a Hindi film. When something happens so fast, you need to take a lot of time to ensure that you don’t goof up that opportunity.”

He continued, “Even while writing the film we were aware that this is a universal theme… I was even told that Kalyana... is a Bollywood movie in the form of a Tamil film. It was urban, softer in its rhythm. Back of the mind, we knew if the movie does well, there is a chance we can take it to Bollywood.” He signed off by saying,“Himanshu Sharma writes exclusively for Aanand L Rai. He has his own rhythm. While he was there to guide, he was working on the Shah Rukh film. So, I needed to find my own Himanshu. I found it in Hitesh (Kewalya). Once he came on board, it was fast.”
