Shah
Rukh
Khan's
home
production
Billoo
Barber
directed
by
Priyadarshan
has
constantly
been
in
the
news
mainly
for
its
changes
in
the
cast.
With
too
many
speculations
doing
the
rounds,
the
superstar
decided
to
set
the
facts
straight
about
Billoo
Barber
once
and
for
all.
According
to
SRK,
the
film
is
a
sweet
story
of
friendship
which
is
quite
similar
to
the
bond
shared
between
Krishna
and
Sudama.
Irrfan
Khan
would
be
playing
the
title
role
of
Billoo
Barber
while
Shah
Rukh
would
be
seen
in
an
important
role
in
the
film.
Interestingly
a
lot
of
names
including
Juhi
Chawla,
Ameesha
Patel
and
Tabu
were
considered
for
the
part
of
Irrfan's
wife
but
now
it's
finally
Lara
Dutta
who
has
been
finalized
for
that
role.
The
film
which
is
a
remake
of
a
Malayalam
film
focuses
mainly
on
the
life
of
Irrfan
Khan,
his
wife
(Lara)
and
their
two
kids.
The
other
cast
members
apart
from
Irrfan
Khan,
SRK
and
Lara
Dutta
include
Om
Puri,
Rajpal
Yadav
and
Asrani.
Khan
also
added
that
apart
from
the
main
cast,
the
two
hot-n-happening
beauties
of
Bollywood
Kareena
Kapoor
and
Deepika
Padukone
would
also
be
seen
in
a
guest
appearance
in
the
film.
With
such
a
cast
coming
together,
Billoo
Barber
is
surely
one
of
the
keenly
anticipated
films
of
this
year.
