Actor Sumeet Vyas, who will next be seen in the film
"Ribbon", says just like people tie a ribbon on a present to add a "finishing
touch", the title is metaphoric of what holds a relationship together.
Asked about the significance of the film's title, Sumeet said: "We tie a ribbon
on a present to add a finishing touch and to hold things together or to make it
look pretty. Just like that, we tie a ribbon on a relationship to hold it
together.
"Tying that ribbon is like giving every relationship a name or
a finishing touch -- they are married or they are seeing each other or are in
love with each other."
Explaining the title further, Sumeet said: "When
you are in a relationship and go through many challenges, the ribbon loosens up
and once in a while, you have to tighten the ribbon. That's what happenS in the
film."
Sumeet has always been seen as the sweet and simple boyfriend in
his previous works, including web series "Permanent Roommates".
On his
character in "Ribbon", Sumeet said: "The character will be very relatable to the
people in and around my generation. They are all very smart, educated, watch
English films, read newspapers and they believe they have evolved and practice
gender equality.
"But as soon as they face some problems, everything
changes and they start practicing what they have been seeing since childhood.
They become the man of the house and become patriarchal."
Directed by
Rakhee Sandilya, the film is about a young urban couple trying to strike a
balance between family life and work, while overwhelmed with the birth of a baby
girl. They also find that parenthood comes with its own challenges.
The
film's cast includes Kalki Koechlin and Hitesh Malhan.
Presented by Red
Cart Films, "Ribbon" is scheduled to release on November 3.
