Characters:
Salman
Khan:
Mannu
Loud
and
boisterous,
he
is
the
loveable
rogue
who
chases
women,
drinks
heartily
and
is
heavily
into
debts.
He
is
an
absolute
devil,
who
happens
to
sing
like
an
angel.
His
only
redeeming
feature
is
his
absolute
belief
in
his
friendship
with
Arjun.
But
naive
Mannu
doesn't
know
that
this
friendship
will
plunge
him
into
morasses
of
drugs
and
destruction,
where
death
may
be
the
only
way
out.
Ajay
Devgan:
Arjun
Intense
and
darkly
brooding,
he
is
a
complex
man
burdened
by
guilt,
jealously,
and
the
belief
that
God
has
abandoned
him.
But
he's
also
deeply
committed
to
making
the
dream
that
has
haunted
him
since
childhood
into
reality.
Such
is
his
obsessive
compulsion
to
fulfill
his
dream
that
he
won't
hesitate
to
manipulate
and
destroy
the
one
human
being
who
has
implicit
and
total
faith
in
him
-
his
friend
Mannu.
Asin
Thottumkal
:
Priya
She's
this
conservative
South
Indian
girl
weaned
on
Carnatic
music
and
Bharatnatyam,
whose
heart
secretly
yearns
for
hip
hop
and
rock.
When
she
meets
Arjun,
she's
impressed
by
his
intensity
and
love
for
music.
And
then
she
meets
bold,
bad
Mannu
who
declares
his
love
or
her
at
first
sight.
She
laughs
him
off,
little
realizing
that
she's
going
to
be
the
catalyst
who
will
turn
dreams
into
nightmares.
Rannvijay
Singh:
Zoheb
He
is
blindly
loyal
to
Arjun
and
only
sees
the
world
through
the
prism
of
Arjun's
eyes
-
and
so
Arjun's
joy
is
his
joy,
Arjun's
pain
is
his
pain,
and
Arjun's
perceived
enemy,
he
makes
his
own
too.
Adithya
Roy
Kapoor
:
Wasim
He
may
be
Zoheb's
brother.
He
may
be
as
loyal
to
Arjun.
But
he
isn't
as
blind
and
retained
the
capacity
to
tell
right
from
wrong...
good
from
bad...
Synopsis
They
were
childhood
friends.
But
they
had
little
in
common
except
their
family's
vague
connection
with
music.
While
Arjun's
life
was
consumed
by
a
passionate
drive
to
get
on
stage
and
realize
his
grandfather's
unfulfilled
dream,
Mannu
had
little
interest
in
his
music
tutor
father's
instruments
and
was
content
with
remaining
a
child
at
heart
with
no
higher
ambition
than
enjoying
the
good
things
in
life.
But
little
did
they
expect
music
to
strengthen
their
friendship
and
then
test
it
with
catastrophic
results...
Arjun
diligently
pursued
his
dream,
at
the
risk
of
running
away
from
an
uncle
who
was
his
only
family
in
an
unfamiliar
land
and
roaming
the
streets
of
London
before
taking
shelter
in
a
music
shop
and
priming
himself
until
he's
ready
to
make
his
foray
into
the
world
of
music
and
showmanship.
As
Arjun
forges
a
band
with
Zoheb
and
Wasim,
two
brothers
who'd
duped
their
relatives
in
Pakistan
to
travel
to
London
in
pursuit
of
their
musical
aspirations,
and
Priya,
a
music
enthusiast
from
a
conservative
South
Indian
family,
far
away
in
Punjab,
music
becomes
a
survival
tool
for
Mannu,
who
takes
to
playing
in
wedding
bands
in
his
village.
But
when
he
gets
Mannu
to
London
and
makes
him
a
part
of
the
band,
Arjun
soon
realizes
he's
created
the
biggest
threat
and
obstacle
to
his
own
ambitions.
For,
Mannu,
with
his
inherent
musical
gift
and
irreverent
style
of
performing,
becomes
an
instant
darling
of
the
crowds.
What
has
taken
Arjun
years
to
achieve,
Mannu
does
overnight.
It
causes
Arjun
to
feel
betrayed
by
the
God
to
whom
he'd
surrendered
everything
in
return
for
eminence
in
music.
Arjun's
unbearable
pangs
of
jealously
and
insecurity
only
worsen
when
Mannu
also
unwittingly
woos
and
wins
his
secret
love,
Priya.
As
he
battles
his
inner
demons,
Arjun
slowly
devises
a
sinister
plan
to
destroy
his
best
friend.
Over
a
three
city
tour
spanning
Paris,
Rome
and
Amsterdam,
Arjun
sends
a
naive
Mannu
on
a
downward
hurtling
rollercoaster
ride
of
sex
and
drugs
that
almost
breaks
Mannu's
spirit
and
his
love
life
days
before
a
show
at
Wembley,
a
venue
where
Arjun
hopes
to
have
his
moment
of
glory.
A
venue
where
his
grandfather
had
failed
before
a
crowd
of
25,000
people!
But
a
rude
shock
awakens
Arjun
at
Wembley
at
the
expense
of
his
band,
his
friendship
and
his
credibility
-
a
humbling
experience
that
teaches
him
the
true
meaning
of
acceptance
in
life.
