Both the actors are quite upbeat about their roles and rearing to give their best. The music of this show will be composed by the trio of Shankar Ehsaan and Loy.


This is all a BLUFF, a fragment of our Imagination as During Holi, practices which at other times could be offensive, are allowed. Squirting colored water on passers-by, dunking friends in mud pool amidst teasing and laughter, getting intoxicated on bhang, playing pranks on innocent people and reveling with companions is perfectly acceptable. In fact, on the days of Holi, you can get away with almost anything just by saying, ‘BURA NA MANO, HOLI HAI!!’.

So, before you all start contemplating, as how these stars will look opposite Each other, We say don’t lose hope, maybe they might work together, but not for now!!

With this, Telly Buzz brings to an end the Features on Holi and wishes all its Readers a Very Colourful and Happy HOLI!!
