After a two minute drag performance in GOLMAAL RETURNS where Shreyas Talpade 'sizzled' in a ladies suit, the actor would be seen in a full-on drag role in his upcoming film PAYING GUEST. In the film, he plays the character of a married woman.A riotous comedy which has been in the making for a little while now but could eventually release in the month of May (once the producers v/s multiplexes strike is through), PAYING GUEST features three other leading men - Jaaved Jafferi, Aashish Chaudhary and Vatsal Sheth. Just like Shreyas, Jaaved too would be seen in a drag for a major part of the film's duration. While Shreyas will be seen as a 'bhartiya naari' all the way, Javed is shown as a modern woman with blonde hair and long skirts forming a major part of her wardrobe.
So what makes Shreyas and Jaaved turn into women for PAYING GUEST?
A source attached to the film spills the beans, "Well, the plotline goes like this. Shreyas, Jaaved, Aashish and Vatsal Sheth are friends in look out for a place to live. This is when they come across Johnny Lever, who plats a landlord in the film. He puts forth a condition that only couples are allowed to be 'paying guests' at his house, as a result of which the quartet gets divided into a couple apiece."
With a touch of DOSTANA, a little bit of GOLMAAL, a bite of DHAMAAL and the spirit of RAFOO CHAKKAR to it, PAYING GUEST promises to be an entertaining comedy which could possibly bring on smiles back on the faces of Bollywood aficionados.
A Subhash Ghai production which is directed by debutant Paritossh Painter, PAYING GUEST also features Celina Jaitley, Neha Dhupia, Riya Sen and Sayali Bhagat as the leading ladies.
