Basra and Karishma Kotak in pivotal roles. "It is is about two assassins trying to kill each other, a detective played by Arshad and a cop Shantipriya Phadnis, played by me. It is a story of comedy of errors and mistaken identity. I have done romantic comedy, action comedy but never a proper comedy so I thought it will be nice to do." Soha took martial art lessons from action master Yagnesh Shetty for a few days before she began shooting for the film so that she would look convincing as a cop. But the actress says she did not require it much because the film is ultimately a comedy. "I am undercover most of the time in the film but there are lot of scenes in which I had to wear the police uniform. In the introduction scene, I had to do a little bit of action. "I have always wanted to do martial arts. I had five classes with Yagnesh Shetty, aka Cheetah. But when I went ahead to shoot, I did not require any of it and I realised I could have just been fine with a little bit of warming up," she said. When asked how was it working with a first time director, Soha said, "It was fun working with him. There was a lot to handle and he did it brilliantly with the help of a talented cast. We spent 40 days in Bangalore, we stuck to the schedule. He has a good temperament and is easy to work with."
