One can expect fireworks when King Khan will meet the King of comedy Priyadarshan. The two have finally got together for a film which is titled Billoo Barber. However, it is Irrfan Khan who is essaying the title role in the film.
The plot of Billu Barber is inspired by an year old Malayalam Cinema hit Kadha Parayumbol starring Sreenivasan and Mamooty in the leading roles. The story is set in today's day and age. Billu (Irrfan Khan) plays a village barber. His business has taken a backseat because he has not been able to keep up with the changing trends.
One fine day, a film unit visits his village to shoot a movie. It stars a superstar Sahir Khan (Shahrukh Khan), who was once Billo's school friend. All at once, Billu's status in the village changes, and he becomes highly respected. Everyone wants him to meet the superstar. But Billu is unsure, as he feels he cannot compare to the superstar's status. Besides, he fears that the star may not recognize him. He makes many attempts to meet the star but fails. After all these hardships, he gives up. But people think that he lied about the relationship with the star and start insulting him. His family and children also get upset.
Lara Dutta essays the role of Billu's wife in the movie. The film also has guest appearances by Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, each shaking a leg with the King Khan in three respective item numbers.
