Sanjay Suri to be a cuddler in ‘Call Him Eddy’, says it’s not an odd profession

In this era, Indian cinema is full of innovative content that caters to the diverse preferences of audiences. After mental health was extensively explored, filmmakers moved onto biopics and also touched upon issues like erectile dysfunction and balding. Now, bringing something rather unusual is the makers of ‘Call Him Eddy’. Helmed by Sanjeev Vig, this short film features Sanjay Suri playing the role of a professional cuddler.
While cuddling as a service has been well received in the West, India is yet to welcome it with open arms. Talking about cuddling and comparing it with other calming services, Sanjay explained that cuddlers are people who get paid to give platonic snuggles to clients. “We all snuggle with someone or something, be it a spouse, child, parent or even a pillow. Why is it odd to consider it a real profession? We pay for tons of other services that make us feel good, like eating, shopping, spas and even accessing a shrink,” he mentioned during an interview with a news publication.
‘Call Him Eddy’ will soon release on a digital platform.
