Suspense thriller Vodka Diaries which is all set to release on 19 January, revolves around a series of murders all interlinked with a club called Vodka Diaries and features Kay Kay Menon, Mandira Bedi and Raima Sen in the lead roles.
After watching Kay Kay play the sinister ACP Ashwini Dixit in the gripping trailer of Vodka Diaries, his fans are eagerly waiting to watch the versatile actor back on screen. But did you know that when debutant director Kushal Srivastava approached Kay Kay for Vodka Diaries, he had actually turned it down? Kay Kay had rejected the film when it was first offered to him because he was not very happy with the script.

Director Kushal tells HFT, “Kay Kay rejected our script when we first took it to him. But Kay Kay was our first and only choice for the character of ACP Ashwini Dixit. In fact, the script was written with him in mind and we only wanted him to play this part. He gave us some inputs too so, we requested him to give us some time to rework on the script and he was kind enough to agree. And within a month we returned to him with a revised script.”
The revised script turned out to be immensely engaging, so much so that when Kay Kay started reading the script, he got so engrossed in it that he just couldn’t keep it down. “He finished the script in 3 hours and called me at midnight saying he would do the film,” adds Srivastava.
Debut director Kushal, who is passionate about films says that directing Vodka Diaries has been very satisfying and the industry supported him and he feels fortunate about it. Speaking about Vodka Diaries he says, “The film is a suspense thriller, murder mystery and human relationships. It’s a beautiful relationship.”
The film is produced by Vishal Karkera, Vishal Raj, Kushal Srivastava, Atul Pupneja and Vivek Sudhindra Kulshrestha under the banner K’Scope Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Vishalraj Films & Production Pvt Ltd.
