Plot

This is a story about two guys (Sameer – a male nurse and Kunal- a photographer), a girl (Neha- a fashion Journo) and an apartment. Sam and Kunal bump into each other while looking for an apartment to rent and coincidentally head towards the same apartment. However, they are both thrown out because the owner wants to rent the apartment to girls only since her niece stays in that apartment alone.

Sameer gets an idea that if Kunal and him pretend to be lovers, then the owner will agree to let them stay. Even though their plan works, the boys are in a predicament as they both fall in love with the owner’s niece, Neha Melwani, who thinks they are gay.

Characters

* Abhishek Bachchan as Sameer - Born and raised in London, now in his early thirties, Sameer works in Miami, as a male nurse at St. Steve's Hospital. A goofy kind of guy, who yet has the ability to charm his way into anybody's life. Sameer is the man with the plan. Plans that he seldom thinks through its consequences.

* John Abraham as Kunal - Kunal is a guy in his early thirties. Tall, suave, confident, and good looking who has this brooding quality about him that makes girls swoon over him, which he plays to his full advantage. He's a gorgeous fashion photographer who is pretty straight edged, responsible, and an organized man who has his life in order except for his residence permit as he is an illegal immigrant.

* Priyanka Chopra as Neha - Neha Melwani is a 27 year old, contemporay Indian woman. She is a smart, gorgeous and stylish woman, working at a fashion magazine called Verve. Hard working and someone who loves her work, she longs to settle down and have a family. She is respectful, intelligent and also innocent which sometimes lands her into trouble.
