Vicky Donor was the second Bollywood movie directed by Shoojit Sircar that changed his destiny completely in Mumbai. Produced by John Abraham’s maiden production company John Abraham Entertainment, Eros International, and Rising Sun Films (by Shoojit Sircar and Ronnie Lahiri), this movie brought two bright actors into Bollywood. This beautiful movie about sperm donation won the hearts of the masses and the critics alike.
As the movie completes 9 years, here are some interesting trivia about Vicky Donor: -
- Vicky Donor is the first Indian movie to be made on the theme of “sperm donation” but do you know that the storyline is based on sperm donation and infertility inspired by the Canadian movie Starbuck?
- In the history of Filmfare Awards- the most prestigious Bollywood Film Award, a debut actor won both the Best Male Debutant Award and Best Male Playback Singer Award.
- Actor Ayushmann Khurrana was a participant in an Indian reality TV shownamed Roadies and he has donated sperm as a part of that show in 2004. This information shocked Shoojit Sircar as this concept is quite new.
- This romantic comedy moviemade 700% profit at the box office. It was made at a budget of INR 15 crores only while it earned INR 66 crores. That is equivalent to INR 200 crores today.
- Yami Gautam was a model who did various TVC’s in those days. Her Fair & Lovely ad was quite popular. It’s quite a strange connection that in the past the Vicky Donor director has also directed ads for the same cosmetics brand.
- Annu Kapoor and Dolly Ahluwalia who played Dr. Baldev Chopra and Mrs. Dolly Arora won the National Film Awards for Best Supporting Actorand Best Supporting Actress
- The regular trend when an actor launches his/her production company is to act in that movie mostly in lead roles. But that didn’t happen with Vicky Donor and John says that “It was a conscious decision to not act in my first production because I believe producing a film is about creating quality content that I believe in.” That’s why many people still don’t believe that Vicky Donor was produced by John Abraham.
