The film is a comedy about two childhood friends – a barber and a rich filmstar. While SRK plays the superstar, Irrfan Khan is playing the his barber friend who comes to meet him after many years.
The film is apparently inspired from the Krishna-Sudama episode and reported to be a remake of Malayalam film Katha Parayumbol.
Though Amisha plays the barber's wife in the movie, she will also have some scenes with SRK. This would be the second time Amisha would share the screen space with King Khan after her miniscule cameo with him in Om Shanti Om .
