The comedy undergoes a twist when Rahul Bhatt, a young South Indian classical singer enters the scenario. He too has a soft corner for Mahek. Intimidated by his presence, the trio approach a hoodlum. Interestingly, this is also played by Bhatt (a double role). The goonda adds to the list of Mahek-aspirants.
Mahek is a stranger to her ownfeelings, till a turn of events acquaint her with her own preference. What follows is a dash of fast-paced adventure, hostility and emotion, with not just three but five suitors in the race to tie the knot.

Vikas Kalantari (Pyar Zindagi Hai fame) is Ram. He plays a wannabe star from Chandigarh, who is hung up on unrealistic dreams of filmmakers Ram Gopal Varma and Yash Chopra signing him up. He meets a pandit (astrologer) who predicts that after marrying Pooja (Mahek’s screen name), his fortunes would rise, akin to that of top stars Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh.

Kalantari says, ‘The interesting part of my role is that I am playing a guy totally in contrast with my own self. He is overconfident, something which I am not.’ Feeling positive about the film, he says, ‘It is a sensible comedy with a great script.’

Debutant Sawhney, who has a modelling and theatre background, has trained under Barry John in acting. Anuj, who plays a boy-next-door, says, ‘Raju is an MBA, has a passion for cricket and believes that he is the next Sachin Tendulkar.’

Though Raju basically whiles away his time, ‘He is not an unscrupulous character. He is conscientious. His parents join him in the effort to woo the girl because he is serious for the first time in his life.’

Khan, who has a modelling background, says, ‘I play Raja, a guy who believes in western culture — Ricky Martin and Michael Jackson being his idols. He flips for his neighbour after being defeated by her in a music competition and begins to take lessons from her, in order to reach her heart.’

Khan adds about his character’s nuances, ‘Raja is full of life and he has this moronic tendency to speak in half Hindi-half English. He calls Pooja, ‘Poo.’

Recalling the most difficult moment in the film, Khan says, ‘I got really stuck in the proposal scene. Since the track was comedy otherwise, this was the first scene that necessitated a touch of seriousness and emotion.’

Bhatt, whose popularity owes much to the teleserial Heena, made his feature film debut with Akansha Malhotra in Yeh Mohabbat Hai. Bhatt is particularly excited about his double role, as Prabhu, a South Indian classical singer and as the goon.

Bhatt, who hails from Kashmir, had to go in for a complete makeover to play the role of the South Indian guy. ‘I had to shave my head and also get the Madrasi-Hindi accent and my body language right.’

Underlining the film’s strength, Bhatt says, ‘Each character is defined and the interaction between each is real and follows a natural consistency.’

About his performance, Bhatt adds, ‘To deglam myself, to go bald and move from a hero to actor mode was a challenging task.’

Norway-born and bred, Mahek Chahal’s love for cinema brought her to India. The girl, who has dabbled with modelling, has also done a few Telugu films.

Her bronze Asian complexion, which was not exactly a brownie point for a career in foreign films, landed her the role of the simple Pooja in the film.

She explains her role, ‘She is not an extraordinary good looking woman or a sex bomb. She is a simple girl, modern but value-bound.’

Mahek found the classical dance sequences in the film challenging. ‘Always fond of dancing I have a rhythm in my body. Nevertheless, I would rehearse a lot at night and shoot in the mornings. This was a creative challenge.’ She adds, ‘My director is a choreographer too and this helped a lot.’

The most touching moment, according to her, is the scene, ‘where I go up to the guy, whom I have been ridiculing all along, and express my love."

Mahek Chahal adds optimistically, ‘The family crowd and young people will enjoy the film. Its unpredictability and crispy pace is interesting. You will sit through the movie and suddenly find it’s over!’
