Superboys of Malegaon: Vineet Kumar Singh Discusses His Role & Reveals How The “Writer Baap Hota Hai” Punchline Made It To Final Cut!

Superboys of Malegaon actor Vineet Kumar Singh offered insights into his role and shared an interesting anecdote behind the “writer baap hota hai” scene!

Vineet Kumar Singh, known for his powerful and nuanced performances, is all set to appear in Reema Kagti’s much-awaited film Superboys of Malegaon. Having earned praise for his standout roles in recent multi-starrer projects, the versatile actor is now transforming into Farogh, a struggling writer navigating the eccentric world of Malegaon’s grassroots filmmaking scene. But unlike other characters he portrayed on celluloid in the past, this one hit home for Singh.

His own experience with a writer’s struggles lends an extra layer of authenticity to Vineet Kumar Singh’s portrayal of Farogh in Superboys of Malegaon. For the unversed, before establishing himself as a talented actor, Singh dabbled with writing. The journey gave him firsthand insights into the challenges of creative expression. This personal connection allowed him to infuse depth and realism into his portrayal. Understanding the delicate balance between passion and frustration, the relentless pursuit of bringing one’s vision to life, and the vulnerability of putting one’s work out into the world.

Speaking about stepping into Farogh’s shoes, Vineet Kumar Singh said, “I had written Mukkabaaz along with my sister, and I still try to write whenever time permits. So, I was able to bring a lot of my personal experiences to Farogh. Additionally, having worked as an assistant director, I had insight into visualizing a film within a film. The real challenge, though, was stepping into a world of characters in their 20s, a generation I clearly don’t belong to. I am 7-8 years older than all of them, so it was tough to justify the friendship and camaraderie on-screen without making the age gap jarringly obvious.”

The trailer of Superboys of Malegaon has already sparked excitement, with one dialogue, in particular, standing out – “writer baap hota hai.” Singh shares an interesting backstory behind the punchy line: “It is perhaps a force of habit – I tend to instinctively improvise in certain scenes. The ‘writer baap hota hai’ scene was already beautifully written, and it is an important one too. But that particular line just flowed naturally when I delivered it. When I asked Reema if we could keep it, she loved it as well. That’s how it made the final cut!”

Superboys of Malegaon, set against the backdrop of Malegaon’s unique DIY filmmaking culture, promises a heartwarming and humorous exploration of dreams, friendship, and the power of cinema. Directed by Reema Kagti and featuring the exceptional Adarsh Gourav, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Shashank Arora in pivotal roles, the film has had a successful run on the international film festival circuit, garnering unanimous acclaim at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.

The movie is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, and Reema Kagti and written by Varun Grover. Superboys of Malegaon is set to release in theaters across India, the US, UK, UAE, Australia, and New Zealand on February 28, 2025.
