"Having to finish a film during a pandemic has been the most rewarding part of the shoot. I seldom play comic roles, and humour that Deep's father portrays, spoke to me instantly. The film is extremely relatable and it's not only for the kids or the millennials, I think parents would enjoy it as well," Rajesh said.

Actress Pooja Bedi, who plays Shweta's mother prefers calling the film a "com-rom".

She said: "Parents have a profound impact on how kids turn out. The strangely independent-dependent mother-daughter relationship in the film will be extremely relatable to a lot of girls out there. Comedy Couple is a com-rom, perfect for a fun watch to sit back and enjoy."

Directed by Nachiket Samant, the film is based on a story by Bikas Mishra and has screenplay by Raghav Kakkar and Kashyap Kapoor. It will drop on Zee5 soon.
