The upcoming comedy Humshakals is the first time a Hindi film will have three male leads playing triple roles. The three Ashoks, Kumars and Mamajis will be essayed by actors known for their comic timing — Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh and Ram Kapoor. No wonder the tagline promises nine times the fun.
Saif, who has done comedy in films before, was apparently clear that he wanted his first full mass comedy to be special. So, when director Sajid Khan approached him, he immediately said yes. Riteish has already worked with Sajid in successful films like Heyy Babyy, Housefull and Housefull 2. Even though Sajid and Ram haven't worked together, their friendship goes back 20 years when Ram was a student in Los Angeles.
The comedy film is produced by Vashu Bhagnani & co-produced by Fox star studios and is slated to release on 20th june. Let's hope after Debacle of Himmatwala this film brings some good news for director Sajid Khan.
