Set in Bollywood, Shortkut- The Con Is On tells the story of two strugglers, Raju who makes it big as a superstar (Arshad Warsi) after stealing a script, and Shekhar (Akshaye Khanna), whose struggle as a director continues after his script gets stolen. Things get really interesting when reigning actress Mansi’s (Amrita Rao) romantic involvement with Shekhar culminates into their marriage while her professional interactions begin with Raju. To add to the chaos, destiny again brings Raju and Shekhar face-to-face when Shekhar is set to direct his first film with Raju in the lead. What follows is a clash of egos, and immense commotion building up to a fun-filled confusion.

Short kut - The Con Is On has been quite a challenge for several reasons.They have made the film extremely special for me. To begin with, Anil Kapoor’s extravagance and enthusiasm was great. I couldn’t have asked for a better producer for this film. After writing for so many directors in the past, working on a script written by Anees Bazmee, who is an accomplished writer-director himself, further added to the challenge. As a story, the film is a fun-filled joy-ride with a tinge of emotion and a message to take away. Balancing the humour and the emotions, and subtly giving out the message in an entertaining format was the goal and I think I have managed to succeed with this one. Shortkut ..., will always be special.
