In a recent interview with PTI, director Raaj Shaandilyaa revealed that his upcoming film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, has nothing to do with Cameron Diaz's Sex Tape. The filmmaker also said he hasn't even seen the 2014 film featuring Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz.
"Someone asked me on Twitter, 'Is this film like 'Sex Tape'? I'm like, 'There's no sex in our film'. I was told by one of our writers that in that film their video goes viral on the Internet. The video in our film is made by the couple and they lose the CD because of their negligence," he shared.
The filmmaker further stated that his film's characters and story are different. He didn't get inspired by the Hollywood film, rather shared that he got inspired by life and the people around him.

Raaj also shared that he is already working on the sequel of the upcoming film which will be set around the early days of the Internet.
"Where this film ends, we've got a sequel, which will be set 10-15 years later, when the advent of the Internet has happened. We've written the story. We will shoot this film after I make another film," he added.
Meanwhile, he said that the inspiration for Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video came from co-writer Yusuf Ali Khan and the work on the screenplay began back in 2018.
Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is set against the colorful and lively backdrop of the 1990s. The film is described as a "pure masala entertainer" and is set to offer a mix of drama, humor, and a nostalgic trip back to that iconic decade. The family drama will be released in theatres on October 11, 2024.
