Preview: Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Take a good look at what this quirky film entails. Brought to you by the team that weaved its magic with Dil Chahata Hai more than a decade ago.

  • Take a look at the quirky guys from Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. The show goes on the road, Dil Chahta Hai style. Shot almost entirely in Spain, ZNMD, as it's popularly called, promises to be an awesome ride.
  • In sharp contrast to Delhi Belly's madcap view of life, this bunch of guys - Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol - enjoy a fun filled jaunt in the exotic locale of Spain in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, which releases Friday.
  • Directed by Farhan's sister Zoya Akhtar and produced under the banner Excel Entertainment, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is about a holiday that changes the lives of three best friends - Arjun (Hrithik), Imraan (Farhan) and Kabir's (Abhay) forever.
  • The film was previously titled Running With The Bulls but the name was later changed to the present one. It is Zoya's second second directorial venture after the critically acclaimed Luck By Chance.
  • Kabir, a wealthy young man who works with his father's construction company in Mumbai, is engaged to Natasha (Kalki Koechlin), daughter of a hotelier. Kabir wants to go on an extended bachelor party with his best friends Arjun and Imraan, before he gets hitched.
  • London-based Arjun is a financial trader who works at a huge firm. He grew up fatherless and lived a tough life, so his entire focus is to get bigger, better and faster. Imraan is a copywriter who works at an advertising agency in Delhi.
  • When Kabir offers to take them on a vacation, Imraan readily agrees, but Arjun is reluctant as he is too tied up with work. However, after much cajoling, he agrees and thus begins their Spanish sojourn. All three meet up in Barcelona and set off on an adventure that helps them iron out their differences, get rid of their fears and alter their perception about various things in life. The holiday turns out to be a lesson in life for them and forces them to break out of the box. The three-week journey changes their lives forever.
  • As luck would have it, Laila, played by Katrina Kaif, a bohemian fashion student from London is also in Spain. She takes time off to teach diving every year and this year she decided to do it in Spain, where she meets Arjun, Imraan and Kabir.
  • The La Tomatina festival of Spain was re-created for the shoot of the song Ik Junoon. It was shot in Bunyol, Valencia, in Spain. Almost 16 tons of tomatoes were used for the shoot and were flown in from Portugal. The film has already created a lot of buzz with its songs and promos.
  • The film gives Abhay Deol, usually typecast as offbeat, a shot at mainstream commercial glory. He and co-stars Farhan and Hrithik have become good friends in real life as well. While shooting for the film, the three did some adventure sports like skydiving and scuba-diving. Katrina and Kalki joined the fun.
  • Zoya has also made the three lead actors of the film sing a song in the film, called Senorita. Composed by the troika of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, it's already rage among the masses.
