Earlier titled Mera Bharat Mahan, the film has a number of firsts:
Salman Khan seen in a Sikh makeover for the first time ever and he makes a good looking jatt Sikh with a beautifully tied turban. He grew his beard for three weeks before the filming for an authentic bearded Sikh look.
Two pairs of real life brothers - Salman and Sohail, Sunny and Bobby feature together in the film.
Preity Zinta, who features in a village mutiar makeover took a short refreshers course in acting from Anupam Kher's acting school to brush up her skills for a deglam role of a timid wife, a first for the bubbly actress.
The film is loosely based on the 2004 cult classic Diarios De Motocicleta (The Motorcycles Diaries) which in turn is based on the journals of Ché Guevara, the leader of the Cuban Revolution, in which Guevara, recounts adventures he and best friend Alberto Granado had while crossing South America on a motorcycle in the early 1950s.
Sammy (Sohail) and Ali (Vatsal) are two bosom pals. Everything they do, they do together and are highly dependent on each other. While Sammy is an eccentric, high-spirited and has an uncanny knack of finding humor in the weirdest of situations, Ali is quieter and more mature. When the two friends travel a thousand miles to deliver three letters as a part of their film school assignment, little do they know that the journey that they have embarked on will give them a new meaning of life.
During their road trip from Delhi to Chandigarh and then from Manali to Ladakh, Sammy and Ali come across these real life characters played by Salman, Preity Zinta, Sunny and Bobby who leave a life changing impact in these two youngsters’ lives.
The film, shot in Ladakh, Chandigarh and Delhi, is due for release in theaters on October 24.
