Men dressing like women has been a tried-and-tested formula of infusing humour in Bollywood films. Now Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh and Ram Kapoor will be seen doing so in comedy film "Humshakals".
A Sajid Khan directorial, "Humshakals" is a comedy of errors, and the director turned his actors into dainty and beautiful actresses for a dash of fun.
A source close to the production team said: "We have seen Ritiesh play a woman in 'Apna Sapna Money Money', and now he will be doing it again in 'Humshakals' along with Saif and Ram."
"Saif and Ram were quite reluctant in the beginning to portray themselves as women but in the end gave in and let Sajid take the reigns," the source added.
The movie, which also stars Bipasha Basu, Tamannaah Bhatia and Esha Gupta, is produced by Vashu Bhagnani. It will hit the screens June 20.
