Fukrey is Excel's first venture into the area of pure comedy. It’s a story of 4 boys struggling to fulfill their individual dreams, being short on merit and/or motivation. They take a short cut but end up getting caught in a seemingly dangerous web woven by a ruthless female gangster. How they find their way out of it, makes for the third act. With well-written, eccentric characters and hilarious situations, the fans can expect 2 hours of laughter and entertainment.

Each script that arrives at Excel is viewed on merit. The content should be appealing, casting comes after. Fukrey is a refreshing script for us as a film producing company as it is about a world not previously explored in any of our previous films. Fukrey is set in East Delhi, an area of our national capital that is not featured too often in film. And because it is about 4 boys whose dream it is to be in one of Delhi's coolest colleges, it has an immediate appeal for the younger audiences.

Firstly, I'd like them to be entertained by this film ... laugh with and at the characters. If there is anything to be gotten from the sub-text of the film, it is probably the message that even those who don't graduate from school or college with distinction, have the potential within them to achieve their biggest dreams. So don't think a lower grade is the end of the road and most importantly, never lose hope.

Magically. They compliment and work off each other so naturally that it seems they were all destined to be in these parts. I congratulate the entire cast and the director on creating a film with performances of the highest quality. A lot of the talent is new but that does not show at all in their work.

My next film as an actor will be 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'. That releases on the 12th of July.
