A still from Humshakals shows Riteish Deshmukh with Saif Ali Khan in drag
New Delhi:
Today's Big Release: HumshakalsThere's just one new offering at the box office today but it promises nine times the fun. Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh and Ram Kapoor play three roles each in the Sajid Khan-directed Humshakals.
Humshakals, a comedy also written by Sajid, is a comedy of errors based on lookalikes of the lead actors. Of the set of triple roles they play, one involves all three dressed in drag. Saif has spoken about how difficult it was to dance in heels and credits wife Kareena Kapoor with teaching him how to pout.
Produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Humshakals also stars actresses Bipasha Basu, Esha Gupta and Tamannaah Bhatia as the female leads. Bipasha has been notably absent from the whirlwind round of promotions across the country, leading to rumours of a fall out with director Sajid Khan and a rivalry with co-star Esha. A tweet from Bipasha indicated that she was unhappy with the end product and her role in it which is why she had absented herself from publicity duty.
Today, based on the welcome Humshakals gets from critics and at the box office, will prove the day of reckoning for Bipasha's judgement.
