The novel builds on the movie’s playscript, its plot is complementary to the content of the film and refreshingly different, providing one thing new to readers.
“‘The add of 2 Wholes – Total Siyapaa’ could be a pleasant comedy, choked with the chaos and comedy that ensues once opposites attract. It’s an experiment in experiential amusement that cuts across medium and book platforms,” Amrita Chowdhury, country head, Harlequin India, said in a statement.
The film’s actors are upbeat regarding the book.
Ali, who plays Aman in the movie, said: “As actors, we interpret the screenplay and act characters to bring them alive on screen. This book has understood the pre-story of my character and created him into a flesh-and-blood thinking individual, who faces knockbacks with flair and determination, and ultimately wins – not simply the woman, however also all that he strives for in life.”
Yaami says the book offers more to her character Aasha than the movie.
“Everything I had imaginary Aasha to be – her story before the movie begins, her wacky personal history, her laugh-out-loud friction with Aman once they first meet, her grit to prove herself, has been written in this book,” she said.
