Saqib Saleem expresses, "This is such an exciting project for me, the concept of putting comedy in the romance has a certain lightheartedness to it, which is exactly what we need right now. A bit of love and lots of laughter, that's what Comedy Couple is about. On a realistic note, there is no relationship that is perfect, but it does have its bittersweet moments which we need to cherish. ZEE5 has come up with an exciting concept with stand-up comedy as a means of storytelling but making it real and relatable at the same time. I hope the audience and viewers enjoy the trailer which we have just released. Film premieres on 21st October, so block your date!"
Shweta Basu Prasad says, "Comedy Couple will be extremely relatable to lot of youngsters. The pandemic has taught us one thing that we should take our actions seriously but at the same time not so seriously. Just sit back, laugh, relax and enjoy the moment and appreciate the life that we have. Zoya and Deep are exactly like that, living in the moment and living for themselves. But as you see in the trailer, much like any other relationship, they go through a bittersweet phase and to see what happens to the Comedy Couple in the end, you will have to watch the film on 21st October on ZEE5."
The film revolves around the comedy couple duo who are also real-life lovers. They are a laugh-riot on stage, with their sharp and witty take on a variety of issues like finding romance in the city while grappling with the same problems off-stage. When one of their comedy acts go viral, their professional and personal lives collide, resulting in uncomfortable truths and bittersweet realizations, which they must navigate to make sense of their relationship. The screenplay promises to be an astutely observed and an insightful take on love and life in a bustling city and what it takes to survive here, served with sharp humour and ready wit.
