Kajol is starring with King Shahrukh Khan (Rizvan Khan as a suspicious muslim) in this new movie. Director Karan Johar described the "message" of the film as being "in strong support of humanity, which at the end of the day is the only way to rise above any of the cultural or religious differences that continue to engulf us. Kajol (who won the role over Kareena Kapoor) will star as Shahrukh Khan's wife. Sonya Jehan and Shabana Azmi also star in the film.
