Characters

Akshay Kumar as Rajiv

Akshay Kumar plays Rajiv, disarmingly simple and straight. He falls flat when he sees Sanjana for the first time.

Obedient to the core, he will never defy his uncle. But when he sees his dream of marrying his dream girl going up in gun smoke, he realizes that he has to do something drastic to save his future.

Katrina Kaif as Sanjana

Sanjana is exquisitely pretty, but tough enough to carry on Rajiv through a raging fire. But even her brave heart falters when her brother crosses swords with Rajiv’s equally stubborn uncle and she sees her love being blown to smithereens.

Paresh Rawal as Dr. Ghungroo

Paresh Rawal is Dr. Ghungroo. All this highly respected doctor wants is a bride from a respectable family for his nephew Rajiv. And when he finds himself cheated into an alliance with a girl from a notorious gangster family, he will die rather than bend.

Nana Patekar as Uday Shetty

This wannabe actor turned dreaded don has a silver tongue and can shed crocodile tears at the drop of a hat. If he has any weakness, it is his only sister Sanjana. He will do anything and everything to make her happy, except give up his criminal ways.

Anil Kapoor as Majnubhai

Anil Kapoor plays Majnubhai. His passion for painting canvases puts lives and limbs at risk, not to mention his soft heart that stops just short of putting a bullet through your head. He has made it his life’s mission to find a suitable groom for his bhai’s sister.

Mallika Sherawat as Ishika

Mallika plays a bombshell Ishika. She has the sex appeal to set many a heart aflutter. And one of those who have been bowled over by her is Majnubhai.

Feroz Khan as RDX

Feroz Khan plays RDX. He is as explosive as his name. Living life kingsize, he struts his stuff in style, fires with both hands and loves his son Lucky to death.
