For
the
first
time
ever,
two
super
talented
artists
in
their
own
domains
have
paired
up.
And
this
calls
for
a
celebration
since
the
event
takes
place
even
as
the
two
artists
have
been
in
the
business
for
more
than
a
couple
of
decades.
We
are
talking
about
Naseeruddin
Shah
and
Priyadarshan
who
have
worked
together
for
the
first
time
in
the
film
titled
Mere
Baap
Pehle
Aap.
A
comedy,
which
also
marks
the
return
of
Akshaye
Khanna
with
Priyadarshan,
Mere
Baap
Pehle
Aap,
features
Naseeruddin
Shah
in
a
major
role.
This
won't
be
Naseeruddin
Shah's
first
stint
with
comedy
though.
The
actor
has
steered
away
from
buffoonery
over
the
years
but
has
still
let
his
own
brand
of
humor
speak
for
itself
in
films
like
Bombay
Boys,
Tahalka,
Chamatkar,
Tridev,
Malamaal,
Hero
Hiralal
and
Katha.
His
most
memorable
comic
performance
is
Jaane
Bhi
Do
Yaaron
though.
Now
with
Priyadarshan
at
the
helm
of
affairs,
one
can
be
doubly
confident
that
Mere
Baap
Pehle
Aap
would
have
something
special
to
offer
which
would
justify
the
presence
of
Naseeruddin
Shah
in
the
project.
