"I was going through a lot of story ideas before pitching the right one to Sunny. He liked the idea of 'Bhaiyaaji Superhit'.

This is a completely different genre and setting for him as well as me. Both of us are moving out of our comfort zones for the film," Neeraj told PTI.

Initially, the first draft of the script started with a single character and there was no double role angle but Neeraj said that bit came in as an after thought. "To begin with, there was no double role angle to it.

On further brainstorming we thought why don't we go ahead and make this a double role? Sunny liked this as well and asked me to develop it further," Neeraj said. The director, who wrote the screenplay of "Apne" starring Dharmendra , Sunny and Bobby, said his association with Sunny is more personal than professional.

"We share a great bond. I love him as a person while he takes care of me as a younger brother and friend.

I have all relationships included in just one relationship, be it as a friend or a mentor (less)

I have all relationships included in just one relationship, be it as a friend or a mentor.I have told Sunny that till my last breath, whenever I would make a movie I would offer it to him first.

After that it would be his choice whether he wants to take them or not," he said. Bhaiyaaji Superhit also stars Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, Prakash Raj and Ameesha Patel in pivotal roles.

"Arshad is playing a fantastic character. He would be one of the major highlights of the film.

He has never worked with Sunny despite being in the industry for a decade and a half. They would definitely make for a great combination.

As for Tusshar, his comic timing is a known fact. He is playing a Bengali writer in the film," Neeraj said.

Though the film will hit screens early next year, Neeraj is happy that the film is already in news be it for Sunny's look or for its appealing starcast. "The title suits the genre really well.

There is a smile that is bound to come on just hearing the title. I guess that's half the battle won when the title is good and the star cast is impressive.

We are sure that this film is going to hit the bull's eye," he added. Tweet (less)

It will be a family affair," Esha's manager confirmed. The time of engagement is yet to be revealed, but the family is said to be excited.

Daughter of veteran actors Hema Malini and Dharmendra , Esha began her tryst with Bollywood in 2002 with "Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe". She went on to feature in films like "Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne", "Na Tum Jaano Na Hum" and " Dhoom ".

Interestingly, this is for the first time that Deol essays a double role as an actor in a career spanning over two decades. An excited Deol said, "I always wanted to do a double role and when this offer came my way, I could not let it go.

What makes it interesting is that both roles are poles apart. It's a challenge for me; I'm sure the film will enthrall the audience.

" About the typical bhaiyya look, Deol said, "I play this UP-based don. That's why he is called bhaiyyaji.

There were several sketches that the creative team came up with, but this one fit the bill perfectly. So we just went ahead with it.

But it is not only my look - all the characters in the film have an interesting get-up. Plus, we also have Vijayan, who is an ace action director.

I am glad to be a part of this film." Producer Fauzia said, "Sunny was all charged up about playing the double role.

I'd credit my director Neerraj Pathak, who convinced not only Sunny, but also the other artistes." She added, "What makes my film stand apart is that it is not a nonsensical comedy.

There's a social message in it. Through the story, there's something to learn.

And though we have other projects in the offing, to make an action-comedy film was our priority. We are proud to be associated with it.

" Clarifying on why their debut venture took time to take off, Fauziya explained, "We did not want to start anything in haste and make a mess. We started shooting only when we were absolutely sure of what we wanted.

" Besides Sunny, "Bhaiyyaji Superhitt" also stars Arshad Warsi , Tusshar Kapoor and Prakash Raj. There is also Ameesha Patel, who's been paired with Sunny Deol.

"We will soon pencil in three more heroines, out of which one will be a newcomer," Fauzia said (less)
