Character Sketches:

Akshaye Khanna as Gaurav Rane

This younger son of Janardhan Rane shares a unique relationship with his father. Usually, he is his father’s best friend. But whenever he tries to discipline his father, he becomes his father’s father. The two get along like a house on fire – the only bone of contention being Janardhan’s friendship with the lecherous Mathur, whom Gaurav considers to be a bad influence on his father.

Paresh Rawal as Janardhan Vishvanbhar Rane

This simple and docile man lost his wife years ago, but devoted his life to bringing up his two sons. He has never ever thought of remarriage, whilst his best friend Mathur only thinks of remarriage. Then, out of the blue, he comes face to face with his first love, and he realizes that he never stopped loving her. But he still hesitates to express his love because he is afraid of hurting his own grown-up sons.

Genelia D'Souza as Shikha Kapoor

This cute and mischievous girl has come from the US for a friend’s wedding. She has another mission as well – to take sweet revenge from the man who played a nasty prank on her when they were studying together in college. That man is Gaurav Rane. Even as she torments Gaurav, she falls in love with him.

Rajpal Yadav as Mannu

The only reason Gaurav has given this buffoon a job in his shopping mall is because they studied together till standard fifth. However hard Mannu tries, he always manages to get the wrong end of the stick.

Archana Puran Singh as Inspector Bhawani Bhagmar

This unmarried police inspector dislikes men who run after women. A strict disciplinarian, her mission in life is to catch eve teasers and punish them severely. And the culprit she catches most often is Mathur.

Om Puri as Madhav Mathur

He is Janardhan’s best friend since the days they began their struggle together in London. As old as Janardhan, he has no wife and family and his only mission in life is to find a suitable girl and get married. He likes every girl he meets. But no one likes him. And most of his attempts to seek a bride often land him in police station, under the wrathful eyes of Inspector Bhawani.

Synopsis:

Janaradhan Vishvanbhar Rane (Paresh Rawal) is a widower who has spent his life bringing up his two kids Chirag (Manoj Joshi) and Gaurav (Akshaye Khanna). Janaradhan has done everything for his kids to bring them up in the best possible manner, ever since they were toddlers. Now when the duo has grown up, Gaurav takes up the responsibility of his father. They both manage the household chores and their business to the best of their abilities.

Though Gaurav is the younger son, he treats his father like his son. Gaurav is on guard with the vigilance of a disciplined parent. He shouts, threatens, and fights - even locks up his father occasionally so that his prankster best friend Madhav Mathur (Om Puri) who is a divorcee and desperate to get married, does not spoil him.

Madhav and Janaradhan who are always in search of a bride for Madhav always keep landing up in trouble and every time Gaurav has to bail them out and face the embarrassment.

Gaurav, busy managing his business, starts getting prank calls from a girl who turns out to be his old college friend Shikha Kapoor (Genelia D'souza). Shikha is staying with her guardian Anuradha (Shobana) who is also Janardhan's first love.

Gaurav and Shikha notice changes in the behavior of Janaradhan and Anuradha when they come face to face after many years. They come to know about their past relationship. Now Gaurav wants his father to get married to his lost love.

Gaurav and Shikha embark upon a rib-tickling journey to arrange his father's love marriage and in the process find soul mates in each other. Of course, the path is not so smooth: there are obstacles. But then, Madhav's desperate desire for a bride comes handy. How this trio tries to arrange Janaradhan's and Anuradha's love marriage is a fun ride to watch.

‘Mere Baap Pehle Aap’ is written and directed by Priyadarshan . The movie has music by Vidyasagar and costumes by Neeta Lulla.

The film is set to release on June 13.
