Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi Movie Preview

Release Date: 24 Aug 2012

Genre: Comedy – Romance

Language: Hindi

Director: Bela Sehgal

Producer: Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Cast: Boman Irani as Farhad, Farah Khan as Shirin Fugawala

Actor Boman Irani reveals that his wife Zenobia was excited to hear that Farah Khan will act opposite him in ‘Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi’ and urged him to say yes to the movie.

“I said it’s (casting Farah) a great idea. I went home and told Zenobia (Boman’s wife) and she said ‘What a fantastic idea! Boman, if this is the casting, you must do this film just because of the casting’,” the 52-year-old said here.

None of them are big budget or star-studded offerings, but out of the three, “Shirin Farhad…” is hogging the maximum limelight as it marks the acting debut of choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan.

An unusual romantic-comedy, the story revolves around 45-year-old Farhad Pastakiya (Boman Irani), a Parsi bachelor, who has not found love. One fine day he meets 40-year-old Shirin Fugawala (Farah), and he falls in love at first sight for Shirin.

But all hell breaks loose as Farhad’s mother Nargis realises that her son’s dream girl (Shirin) is her sworn enemy.

Co-produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Sunil A. Lulla, “Shirin Farhad…” also marks the directorial debut of Bhansali’s sister, Bela Sehgal.

In the film, Meghaa Banerjee (Bidita) flies to Sydney after getting a scholarship. She meets Rohit Khurana (Sharad) there and they gel well right from the start.

What follows is a fun, quirky and emotional love story.

After romantic and family comedy, there is “Delhi In A Day”, a dark comedy about the nouveau riche in Delhi.
