'Happy New Year' an ensemble film: Shah Rukh

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan says Farah Khan's directorial venture "Happy New Year" should be categorised as an "ensemble" movie.

If the team of Shah Rukh, Deepika Padukone and Farah are coming together for "Happy New Year" for the second time after 2007 superhit reincarnation saga "Om Shanti Om", the cast boasts a long list of well known actors - Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, Vivaan Shah and Sonu Sood.

"The film is very new. It's an ensemble film. It's not just a Shah Rukh starrer," said the actor.

"It has Deepika, Abhishek, Boman, Jackie Shroff, Vivaan Shah and Sonu Sood. I think I am doing an ensemble film for the first time. The beauty and newness of 'Happy New Year' is that it is not a hero or heroine oriented film," added the 47-year-old.

The film will release in October next year.
