Amazon Prime Video's latest release, Candy and the Pizza Ggirl, brings a unique blend of dark comedy and offbeat storytelling to the screen. The film features Priya Banerjee, Ninad Kamat, Sivani Singh, Dara Sandhu, Nimish Shitole, and Aniket Sanghvi in key roles. In an exclusive chat with Hindustan Times, Priya Banerjee described the film as "wacky" and unlike anything she has done before.
Priya revealed that she found her character, a girl obsessively fixated on pizza, very different and explained why she agreed to do the film. She shared that the director reached out to her after seeing some of her pictures online and said, "He wanted to audition me. So I got a call, and I auditioned for it. He read the script to me, and I was like, this is wacky because in India you don’t really hear scripts like that."
Priya further described her character as intriguing and shared, "I felt it was so wacky that India wouldn’t usually come up with a script like this. Maybe five years down the line, in mainstream cinema, it could happen." She also recalled unintentionally hurting one of her co-stars while filming a crucial scene.
The film has been made in a very different way. It’s not like most films we see here, especially in Bollywood. Candy and the Pizza Ggirl is available to watch on Prime Video on rent.
