Tanishaa: I am glad you did One Two, Suniel. I love to see you in comic roles.

Suniel: The concept of our characters having the same name sounded very funny. They happen to be in a hotel at the same time and get mistaken for each other.

Esha: We were in splits watching you act. Your character is both funny and irritating.

Suniel: He is so humble and polite that before sitting on a chair he asks whether he should sit on the right or left side of it!

Tanishaa: He became my favourite ever since I first heard the script. I also love my role, a dimwit working in a car showroom who is mad about her suave boyfriend.

Tusshar: Tell me what do you think about my character?

Tanishaa: A bhai’s son dying to become a gangster! What I found hilarious was your mother praying that you become the best hit man in the underworld.

Esha: Paresh Rawal, as the salesman of undergarments, is also very funny. To make it even comic, he is paired with a gorgeous Sameera (Reddy).

Sameera: I almost fell off my chair when Ashwani (Dheer) narrated the script.

Suniel: Despite there being so many characters, each is given equal importance.

Upen : Initially, I was not sure whether I would be able to do justice to this role since I had never done comedy before. But Kumar Mangat (producer) insisted me to read the script and I was floored.

Sameera: Did you work on your part?

Upen: I just had to be suave, which I presume I am, and a smooth talker. Incidentally, my first job was that of a sales assistant.

Suniel: Ashwani made sure everything went smoothly. The shoot was completed in 30-40 days.

Tanishaa: Except when I fell down while shooting in Pondicherry. I had to take pain-killer injection.

Upen: I fell from a boat too after we reached Pondicherry. Tanishaa just kept on walking.

Tanishaa: I know, you were so annoyed.

Upen: At first, I thought you did it on purpose.

Neetu: There is a bit of myself in my character, that of a loud and brash Jat cop. Though I am not a loud person in real life, I enjoy making people laugh.

Esha: Playing a wannabe dress-designer, who dresses up bizarrely, was great. Being south Indian, my character often breaks into Tamil.

Tusshar: Esha, do you remember you were hit on the head with a stick while doing one scene?

Esha: Tanishaa was supposed to enact that scene and hit me. But I asked the director to do it since I thought she might hit me too hard. But he had me reel with pain for a while.

Tanishaa: Suniel kept on making us laugh. He made Sanjay Mishra, Vrajesh Hirjee and Mukesh Tiwari rehearse for elaborate dance sequences, while the scene only required them to move their heads.

Sameera: Thankfully he did not play any pranks on me. Everyone had a good laugh at my cost when I drove around in an ancient 1957 model car.

Suniel: Now I am waiting for the audience’s reaction.
