According to Parmeet Sethi, the debut-making writer and director of this week’s Badmaash Company, he wrote the entire script of the film in six days flat. He was pleasantly surprised when his actress-wife, Archna Pooran Singh, read the script and approved of it in toto. Says Sethi, “My wife is my biggest critic, so I couldn’t believe it when she said, she liked the script. When I asked her if there were corrections needed to be made, she replied that some spellings needed to be corrected!” In fact, so relieved was Parmeet after his wife okayed the script that he took it to Aditya Chopra without so much as even reading it again. And he knew he was on, after the very first meeting with Adi for this script.
