A lot has been spoken about Ankahee. Now gear up for Pritish Nandy Communications next Pyaar Ke Side Effects. The title itself gives a hint of the film being a romantic comedy. And the trailer reaffirms your belief. For all those who were speaking about the unusual pairing of Aamir Khan and Kajol in Fanaa; they should have a look at the lead couple of this film. Well Mallika Sherawat and Rahul Bose sound a couple as diverse as chalk and cheese. The two actors come from different sensibilities or maybe you can say different schools of acting. While Bose is known to play matured kind of roles, Mallika has maintained the seductress siren image till date. So to get a combination like this together seems like a challenge and from the trailers the risk seems to have paid off.

The 25-second teaser opens in a show-reel format showing Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat in simultaneous separate black and white frames. While Mallika emerges from the swimming pool, Rahul is in shower. While Rahul checks his breath (with Mallika as a costar we believe that's surely for a smooch scene), Mallika keeps a check on her heartbeats.

They are in love

They are different
They are a recipe for disaster

A rocking Punjabi Bhangra track just adds life to the proceedings. Mallika offers her regular fake flying kisses. An underwater love making scene is also in offing. Is that a trend post Gangster?

Written and directed by Saket Chaudhary, who had co-written Santosh Sivan's Asoka earlier, Pyaar Ke Side Effects has music by Pritam.

Watch love crash in this season.
