It stars Irrfan Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Lara Dutta in the lead roles. Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, and Deepika Padukone make special appearances in three songs. It is a remake of the 2007 Malayalam film Katha Parayumpol and is loosely based on the story of friendship between Krishna and Sudama in the Bhagavata Purana.

Production

Director Priyadarshan cast Irrfan Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Lara Dutta Bhupathi in pivotal roles in the film. While these roles were initially offered to Akshay Kumar and Tabu, Kumar eventually opted out of the project due to date clashes, as did Tabu. Priyadarshan then offered Kumar's and Tabu's role to Shah Rukh Khan and Ameesha Patel respectively, and both of them agreed to do the film.

In April 2008, the director announced that he had cast Lara Dutta as Billu's wife. The cast began filming for the project on 8 April 2008 and according to Shahrukh Khan, "the film is a sweet story of friendship...quite similar to the bond shared between Krishna and Sudama". The film also features Kareena Kapoor Khan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Deepika Padukone Singh in item numbers with Shah Rukh Khan.

Filming took place in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, and at Film City in Goregaon, Mumbai.
