Neha Dhupia has had her share of highs and lows, but failure and criticisms have in no way hampered her confidence and sex appeal. She is still one of the most glamorous ladies of our industry oozing the oomph factor in every expression she puts on.

This time Neha sizzles on the cover page of FHM India Magazine’s Indian Edition for the month of July 2009. She looks equally ravishing in her photoshoot for the magazine done by Vikram Bawa. Check out the pics for yourself.

Cast: Shreyas Talpade, Ashish Chaudhary, Celina Jaitley, Neha Dhupia, Riya Sen, Vatsal Seth, Jaaved Jaffrey and Sayali Bhagat

Director: Paritosh Painter

Producer: Shubhash Ghai

Music: Sajid-Wajid

Release date: June 19, 2009

After weeks of lull at the box-office due to the grim stand-off between the producers and multiplexes, filmmaker Shubhash Ghai hopes to bring in a dash of humour with his slapstick comedy "Paying Guests" releasing on Friday (June 19, 2009).

Written and directed by debutant Paritosh Painter, the film hopes to attract footfalls after the failure of Vashu Bhagnani's "Kal Kissne Dekha" in the first week (June 12) after the stand-off ended.

The story revolves around four men (Shreyas Talpade, Jaaved Jaffrey, Ashish Chaudhary and Vatsal Seth) in Bangkok who need a home to stay.

Their house hunt takes them through a series of ultra comical hurdles in a bid to find that one roof that can tolerate and shelter their combined problems?

In the search for a new accommodation, these crazy friends manage to convince their crazier landlord Ballu (played by Johnny Lever) to keep them as paying guests but, Ballu has one condition i.e. he wants only couples.

They give in to his conditions but how - they are all bachelors! Who will play their wives?

The new drama triggers a serious of confusions that builds into the rich complexities of mistaken identities and a climax of comic wizardries.

"The story revolves around four friends in Bangkok who need a house and end up living as couples, with me and Shreyas as women," says Jaaved.

"I understand the body language of women very well. I know their mannerisms; so, it's not so difficult for me... it wasn't anything new for me. It came kind of easy to me," he added.

While playing a woman "came easy" to Javed, it took a toll on Shreyas, who had to undergo waxing - the painstaking hair removing process.

"Getting waxed for the role was a torture for me. It was like being in a delivery room. I was yelling like a mad dog while I was getting waxed. Even my wife Deepti got scared. She was with me when it was being done... it literally made me shriek like anything," said Shreyas.

Sayali who plays Jaaved's lady love in the film was on the other hand all praise for Ghai.

"It is a dream for every actor to work with Subhash Ghai and my dream was realised through this film. He is a wonderful person and has the ability to make all his actors feel very comfortable. He is a fantastic mentor and I got a lot of guidance from him," she said.

With music from composers Sajid-Wajid, the film also marks the debut of Wajid as a lyricist - for the Indian version of nursery rhyme "Jack & Jill". He has also lent his voice for the title track of the film.

Gals here is something interesting. Do you know what makes Neha Dhupia glow so much? Well it’s some magic potion that she takes everyday. She takes a concoction of fruits and vegetables – radish, carrot, tomato, coriander and spinach. She also takes a lot of juices of apple, grapes, anar and oranges. Wow. that’s easy to make and to take also. And on top of all that she takes the elixir of life – Water!
