Mukul Dev and Arshad Warsi. They love their mother, Reema, very much, and for her these two anmol rattans are her world." K Ravi Shankar has earlier directed family entertainers like Sindoor and Swarg Se Sunder and some action-thrillers like Apradhi and the Govinda-Shilpa Shetty-Star-rer, Aag. For MDAR, Ravi Shankar required two boys who had a flair for comedy, but were not established stars. "I screen-tested a number of Young boys. Arshad and Mukul fitted the bill perfectly. Since they were still new to the game, it was easy for me to mould them the way I wanted. I am sure people will like them in ,my film", Ravi Shankar asserts.

The Story has an interesting twist. There are two fathers and two sons, but the papas don't know which son belongs to whom. Sadashiv Amrapurkar, whom the boys call "daddy", knows that one of them is his Pramod Moutho is Sadashiv's friend, who daughter, Namrata Shirodkar, has come to stay with Sadashiv's family. The boys very often dress alike and even share similar choices. Coincidentally, both of them fall in love with Namrata. But she loves one of them. Mukul grins sheepishly, "I sacrifice my love so Arshad and Namrata can live happily even after."

Arshad and Mukul are also working together in Prakash Mehra's Tumse Achcha Kaun Hai keeping Naseeruddin Shah company. Working with Arshad is fun, Mukul admits. " Arshad is a very spontaneous actor. He comes up with instant jokes and gimmicks. I have learnt a lot about comedy thanks to him", Mukul gushes. Yeah, Arshad agrees, comedy is easy for him. In Hero Hindustani too, he is serenading Namrata, is very excited about her two forthcoming projects, Pukaar with Anil Kapoor in the lead and Purab Ki Laila Paschim Ka Chhaila where she is paired opposite Akshay Kumar. Both the films are fast nearing completion and Namrata is very excited about these projects and the other two too. Does she take acting tips from her sister, Shilpa? No way. "Acting is a talent which differs from person to person," you are informed in MDAR, Namrata plays a sassy miss, who's just returned to mera ghar mera desh from a jaunt in pardes.

While cinematographer Iswar Bidri is setting up his reflectors and camera, the actors quietly change into their get-ups and slap on the grease - paint. The scene has Sadashiv and Pramod deep in discussion. Arshad and Mukul creep up behind them, but are unable to hear what the two men are discussing because they are talking in whispers. The camera overviews left to right and then zooms in on the brothers' faces, as they enter the portico. Sadashiv trips on his lines, a re-take is ordered. The second time around Sadashiv gets it just right and short break is announced. The artistes pose for stills. Arshad looks dashing in a blue jacket and jeans, Mukul is wearing a baseball jacket over a T-Shirt and jeans. Namrata looks ravishing in a red top and a miniskirt.

Facing the bungalow is a temple strategically placed in the middle of a small garden. The unit shifts to the garden. A red Cielo screeches in front of the bungalow and Namrata steps out of it. This is the scene where Namrata is introduced. Everytime the car stops, it moves a little out of the frame. Re-takes after re-takes follow, till the car is in position. Namrata swings out of the car with a flash of sensational legs. The director is happy. The shot is okayed. It is pack-up for the day. Arshad rushes off in his car to report for another shoot. You dash off home to wait for the anmol rattans to hit the screen.
