A Quote by Thambi Ramaiah

It's very hard to find a good comedy. I prefer doing comedy far over anything else because I think they're actually more profound.

As long as I can do my own thing with it, I'll keep doing it.

'Something Borrowed' is looking like a romantic comedy, but it's a comedy. It shines as a comedy; it's definitely not just about the romance. It's an honest depiction of the struggle between the characters. The comedy aspect will make it shine.
