AKSHAY
KUMAR
as
ARJUN
Akshay
Kumar
is
Arjun,
whose
joy
knows
no
bounds
when
he
marries
the
beautiful
and
sophisticated
Jazz.
But
the
joy
soon
turns
to
despair
when
he
realizes
this
marriage
means
nothing
to
her
and
she
is
determined
to
marry
her
British
boyfriend.
As
a
man
who
is
forced
to
watch
his
wife
romancing
another,
as
the
determined
lover
who
will
go
to
any
lengths
to
make
his
beloved
happy,
Akshay's
sensitive
but
strong;
helpless
but
determined
Arjun
will
win
everybody's
hearts.
Will
stubborn
Jazz
be
the
exception?
KATRINA
KAIF
as
JASMEET
SINGH
Katrina
Kaif
is
Jasmeet
Singh
(Jazz).
Born
and
brought
up
in
London,
you
understand
why
she
loves
and
wants
everything
that's
western,
including
a
husband.
You
also
understand
her
anger
and
rebellion
when
he
father
forces
her
to
marry
a
stranger.
But
does
Jazz
realize
the
folly
of
her
stubborn
behavior?
Or
will
she
wake
up
too
late?
Only
Katrina
with
her
mix
of
western
sensibility
and
eastern
vulnerability
could
have
pulled
off
this
role
of
a
confused
girl,
with
her
soul
intact
but
her
heart
leading
her
astray.
RISHI
KAPOOR
as
MANMOHAN
SINGH
Rishi
Kapoor
is
Manmohan
Singh.
This
'angrezi
beti
ka
desi
baap'
is
horrified
to
discover
how
obsessed
his
only
daughter
is
with
everything
western.
He
does
what
any
other
Indian
father
would
do
-
gets
her
married
to
a
boy
of
his
choice,
without
realizing
the
repercussions.
As
the
loving
father
who
will
go
to
any
lengths
to
safeguard
his
daughter's
happiness,
Rishi
Kapoor's
Manmohan
Singh
will
strike
a
chord
immediately
with
all
those
who
have
faced
a
similar
situation
in
their
lives.
UPEN
PATEL
as
IMRAN
KHAN
Upen
Patel
is
Imran
Khan.
He
is
a
Pakistani,
but
born
and
brought
up
in
London
like
Jazz.
Naturally
if
their
fathers
are
best
friends,
so
are
they.
He
completely
identifies
with
Jazz's
obsession
for
everything
British
as
he
himself
has
a
Brit
girlfriend.
But
when
push
comes
to
shove,
when
his
very
identity
and
religion
are
at
stake,
he
realizes
how
much
he
ha
wronged
by
giving
Jazz
the
wrong
advice.
JAVED
SHEIKH
as
PARVEZ
KHAN
Javed
Shaikh
is
Parvez
Khan.
This
talented
actor
returns
to
his
ethnic
roots
by
playing
a
Pakistani
taxi
driver,
whose
best
friend
happens
to
be
an
Indian,
Manmohan
Singh.
He
loves
his
son
to
death
but
cannot
accept
his
live
in
relationship
with
a
British
girl.
As
the
anguished
father
of
a
wayward
son,
the
pathos
and
dignity
he
brings
to
his
role
must
be
seen
to
be
believed.
What
happens
when
you
transplant
an
English
rose
to
a
countryside
in
Punjab
and
expect
her
to
thrive
in
an
alien
environment?
The
rose
will
either
die
or
rebel.
That's
exactly
what
Jazz,
rather
Jasmeet
does
when
her
father
Manmohan
Singh
brings
her
to
India
and
gets
her
married
to
Arjun,
a
rough
and
tough
farmer
who
can
barely
speak
English.
But
Jazz
too
is
equally
determined
to
marry
Charlie
Brown
her
British
boyfriend.
Caught
in
this
emotional
tug
of
war
between
father
and
daughter
is
poor
Arjun,
who
is
helplessly
and
hopelessly
in
love
with
his
beautiful
but
unyielding
wife.
In
Namastey
London,
this
emotional
and
dramatic
tug
of
war
will
determine
whether
love
is
more
about
giving
or
taking?
Whether
Indian
values
must
surrender
to
Western
culture?
Whether
Jazz
will
win
or
Jasmeet!
