The film stars Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Bobby Deol and Lara Dutta. Amitabh Bachchan makes an extended guest appearance in the film.
After making successful films like ‘Saathiya’ and ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, director Shaad Ali comes up with this musical entertainer. Unlike his previous films that were set in rural India or cities, ‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’ is mostly set in England and France.
The movie brings Abhishek Bachchan and Bobby Deol together on the silver screen for the first time. Earlier, John Abraham was approached for the role that eventually went to Bobby.
Preity pairs with her good friend Bobby in this film after a very long gap since ‘Soldier’.
‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’ also has Amitabh Bachchan in a marginal role. Initially, Shaad Ali had approached Big B for a trendy sutradhaar’s song that was shot in London. Later, the superstar’s cameo was extended and he shot for the continuation of the same song that will feature at the movie’s end. The song shows Bachchan dressed in an overcoat, jeans, a black hat (with a feather) and playing a guitar.
Meticulous attention has been paid to the styling of the movie’s main actors. Abhishek will be seen sporting a different hairdo (long tresses) and sharply tweaked moustache. Even his dresses (designed by Aki Narula) are very trendy and colourful.
Bobby Deol will also don different looks in the film. Some scenes have him in straight black hair. Others have him sporting long, blondish hair. Even the film’s leading ladies, Preity and Lara, are looking stunning in the promos.
‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’ is produced by Aditya Chopra. The film’s music is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy while lyrics are by Gulzar. Vaibhavi Merchant has done choreography for the movie’s songs.
