Ameesha Plays The FemaleLead in the movie alongside which features Sunny Deol in a double-role,(their first film since Gadar).Ameesha Patel, for her part, says that she’s flirting with one Sunny while she’s in love with another. Now while that sounds like a recipe for another mindless comedy, she goes on to assure that the film does not sink to the level of slapstick comedies. Well, I guess we’ll have to wait to see about that – and to find out whether Bhaiyyaji Superhit is the superhit that they both want it to be. Are you looking forward to watch Ameesha in the film?
The mood on the sets of Neeraj Pathak's Bhaiyyaji Superhitt (BS) is upbeat. Amisha Patel and Sunny Deol are in their element. Contrary to rumours of the film being shelved, it is being shot at a brisk pace.
"Why give unnecessary importance to baseless rumours! The truth will speak for itself," Amisha says nonchalantly when asked where the rumours began in the first place. Amisha has just returned from a marathon schedule of Race-2 in Turkey.
"My plate is full with lot of good work. I am looking forward to Shortcut Romeo and Race-2. There's also Desi Magic and Paradise Street being made under my home banner. The first has me in a double role, a brainwave of my partner and good friend Kunal Goomer. He is working on the script and I am sure the film will surprise all. And, of course there is Bhaiyyaji Superhitt," she smiles.
Amisha further says, "Sunny and I will be different in this film as compared what you saw of us in Gadar. What makes our combo even more interesting here is Sunny's double role in the film. I am flirting with one but am actually in love with the other. We have not resorted to slapstick humour that is so typical of double roles in a film. It also shows our innocence and vulnerability and that works in our favour as a pair."
Of Sunny, Amisha says, "His shy nature is so endearing. That is what makes him the star that he is."
According to Sunny, BS has stood its ground despite facing rough weather. "Everybody wants the film not to be made. I don't know why. But let me tell you that my fans are going to enjoy watching me in a double role," he smiles.
Director Neeraj Pathak adds, "Sunny and I just laughed when we read that the film was shelved. Our schedules have started and we don't have to prove anything to anyone."
Says the excited actress, "What's striking is that I will romance not one but two Sunnys, as he is playing a double role. It's a first for him and for me too. Sunny's comic timing is excellent, and the audiences loved him in Yamla Pagla Deewana. This film captures his comic side again."
Ameesha plays a glamorous diva in the film, who is being pursued by three men - Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor and Prakash Raj. Apart from the pairing with Sunny, Ameesha's plate is full with work pouring in from other banners.
Her own home production with business partner Kuunal Goomer is moving ahead full swing. "Shortcut Romeo with Neil Nitin Mukesh will be a surprise for the audience. And David Dhawan, who is directing our first film, has a superb script in place. Looking at the success of The Dirty Picture, we have zeroed in on a heroine-centric concept that is super spicy. Priyadarshan too will make an announcement soon about the next film from our banner," she says.
The actress is looking forward to the coming year. She adds, "I have six releases in 2012. I am so excited that I just can't wait for the new year to set in." Co-produced by Sunny Deol's banner Vijayta Films and directed by Neerraj Pathak, the film goes on floors in January 2012.
The two worked together in the superhit Gadar: Ek Prem Katha in 2001; have been roped in to star in producer Fauzia Arshi and director Neeraj Pathak's Bhaiyyaji Superhit
They last worked together 10 years ago. But the on-screen chemistry between Ameesha Patel and Sunny Deol has had more than a lasting impression, making the 2001 romantic film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha the fifth highest grossing film in the industry till date. 
And now, Mumbai Mirror has learnt that producer Fauzia Arshi and director Neeraj Pathak are keen on cashing in on the dynamic duo in their action thriller Bhaiyyaji Superhit, under the Daily Multimedia banner.
A friend close to the director revealed that the male leads in the film were confirmed, but finding a female lead proved to be a major challenge. Pathak's friend explained how the decision to cast Ameesha opposite Sunny came about, saying, "Sunny, Arshad and Tusshar were brought on-board some time ago. But, Fauzia and Neeraj spent a lot of time deliberating about which actress to approach to essay the female lead in the film. It then occurred to them that Sunny and Ameesha were an outstanding on-screen couple in Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. Also, she seemed like the apt choice for the character."
When contacted, Arshi confirmed the news, "We had to start shooting in January. We had finalised the entire cast with Sunny, Arshad and Tusshar, but we could not finalise the female lead. We brainstormed a lot of options. When Ameesha's name came up, everyone loved the idea of having her on-board. And so, she will start shooting for Bhaiyyaji Superhit in the first week of January."
