I play Arav who is ambitious enough to leave home so that he can better his life abroad. He goes abroad in his pursuit to become a top car designer. In his drive of realizing his ambition, he forgets his wife (Priyanka Chopra) and has another woman in his life (Bipasha Basu) that he meets in Cape Town. Sentimental by nature, Arav does not give a second thought when he hears about his father's illness. He rushes back home to be at his bedside. It's a very realistic film; it's a film which women audiences will identify with, it even deals with divorce and sacredness of marriage but at the same time it's not preachy.
I’ve known Suneel since many years. When he was making 'Lootere' with Sunny, I used to sit around on the sets. We used to sit and chat. Hence, there was a comfort level while doing the film. He has also chosen me for his next one 'Dosti' (Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor). I loved working with him. Since he himself is the producer, he puts everything behind his movie. He is very honest to his work, that's why he is successful more often than not.
Suniel came to me and clearly informed me that he was offering me the role, which Akshay was supposed to do. I told him that I had no issues as long as I had a chat with Akshay, 'coz Akshay is a good friend and I didn't want any misunderstandings with him. Were there any changes made when you stepped into Akshay's shoes? Akshay had shot for a song. That had to be reshot. But I don't thing that any changes in the script or role were made. At least not that I know of
I play a rich guy living in a business family but there is no attachment amongst the members. They all are lost in their own world. The only anchor is his friend Akshay Kumar, who helps him to stabilize his life.
