Old MSK - Indolink: August 7, 2004
In the big, bad world of Hollywood, where rivalry and competition between stars are but natural, Akshay Kumar went ahead and did something so sweet that producer Sajid Nadiadwala was stunned.
"While watching the first trial we realised the second half was a bit too lengthy. But since Salman Khan and I are good friends and have been doing so many films together, I felt a little awkward to cut his scenes. Then Akshay himself stepped in and removed my
dilemma. He requested us to cut one of his songs." That's called the perfect cut.
Meanwhile Sajid looks smug when told that Mujhse Shaadi Karoge had taken a very good opening. "It's a clean, entertaining film that doesn't hurt anyone's sentiments," he admits. The Salman-Akshay chemistry must have worked and that's why the film is doing well. "Above all it was me! That's why the film worked," says Sajid and roars with laughter.

MSK Rocks! - Bollyvista: August 2, 2004
'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' opens to the best initial of the year. The weekend held up well although the cricket game affected Sunday. In Mumbai the crowds came despite the awful weather.
'Julie' is a winner for all concerned with the film, while 'Asambhav' is exactly the opposite and a loser for all concerned.
'Gayab' drops 75% in the second week and is a flop.
'Garv' is doing well in the interiors. The film has around 225 prints in circulation in the fourth week but only 20 of them are in the big metros.

Salman smiles - Indiatimes: July 31, 2004
Mujhse Shaadi Karogi hit the theatres on Friday and once again the magic of Salman Khan seems to be doing wonders.
As with all David Dhawan films, this one too demands you to leave your brain behind for two-and-a-half hours of unadulterated entertainment. The film also stars Priyanka Chopra and Akshay Kumar.

Invite Salman to your shaadi - IndiaFM: July 29, 2004
Wanna invite Salman Khan to your Shaadi ? It's very much possible! All you got to do is watch his latest release Mujhse Shaadi Karogi at the Fame Adlabs multiplex in Mumbai and answer some simple questions. If you are the lucky one, Salman will be the chief guest to your function.

Others prizes include a foreign honeymoon trip and wedding outfits by Biba and Neeta Lulla. Well, everything's designed as per the Shaadi theme of the film.

Who gets Priyanka - Bollyvista: July 29, 2004

Warning: If you are planing to watch 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' and would not like the fun to be spoiled, please stop reading this piece here! The gossip is that Salman Khan takes Priyanka Chopra away in the climax of 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' {somewhat premised on 'Anger Management'}. There is a cricket match (featuring prominent Indian batsmen) near the climax of the film during which Salman makes a public declaration of his love for Miss Chopra. Akshay Kumar hands Priyanka over to him. But the movie does not end on an emotional note! There is still some comedy, even after the surrender, and pretty foul comedy at that!

Surprise for Priyanka - Indiaexpress: July 29, 2004
Salman Khan had a sweet surprise for his co-star Priyanka Chopra on her birthday on 18th of July.
Co-incidentally, July 18 was also the last day of shooting for David Dhawan's Mujhse Shaadi Karogi starring Salman, Priyanka and Akshay Kumar .
That day Salman came to the shoot and acted as if he was unaware of Priyanka's b'day. As usual, he kept on cracking his wacky humor on sets and made everybody laugh.
A few moments later Salman and producer Sajid Nadiadwala brought a cake and surprised the Chopra girl.
As Salman was in a real jocular mood he actually did the countdown to the cutting of the cake from sixty to one with the seriousness of the countdown of a space shuttle launch. And in less than a few seconds after the birthday girl cut the cake everybody had his mouth full.

MSK Mini Premiere - IndiaFM: July 28, 2004
The first screening of the keenly anticipated flick MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI was held for the crème de la crème of the film industry on Tuesday night [July 27] at Adlabs, Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari. The screening was akin to a mini premiere, since it witnessed a number of stars and celebrities attending the show.

Salman Khan, producer Sajid Nadiadwala and David Dhawan walked in at the intermission and stayed back till the end. Mrs. Lali Dhawan and Alvira personally looked after the guests present.
The media wasn't invited for this exclusive, closed-door preview. Except this writer! So, what's the verdict on the movie? Await the review...

Grand Release for MSK - Bollyvista: July 28, 2004

Trust producer Sajid Nadiadwala to spring a surprise with his latest film . After lying low for few years, he bounced back with 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi', which has the combination of Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar for the first time ever on the silver screen, along with Priyanka Chopra. We all are aware of the mighty publicity campaign going on for the film , which has set new trends. The film is hot everywhere and to cash in on the heat, Sajid has plans to exploit the film to the fullest in overseas markets. The film will be released abroad with over 150 prints, a record in itself, and over 400 prints in India. Sajid is confident of his product. Our best wishes to him!

Zee Distributes - Bollyvista: July 28, 2004

The network has already signed several other films for distribution before the year's end, including 'One Dollar Curry', which it has also produced.

Salman/Akshay Jokes - Indolink: July 27, 2004
It was work and play for Salman and Akshay Kumar on the sets of David Dhawan´s ´Mujhse Shaadi Karogi´ and the mood extended even to the subsequent joint-interviews. Salman Khan recently recalled the experiences saying "Man ... we freaked out together . Akki is a fine man and has a great sense of humour . His jokes and my wacky humour entertained everyone present on the sets and also the MTV crew." Priyanka Chopra however could not understand most of their ´double meaning´ jokes .

Marriage Mandaps - IndiaFM: July 27, 2004
You won't believe this, but several theatres across the country as well in Overseas will be decorated like marriage mandaps to herald the arrival of the biggest wedding of the season - MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI. In keeping with the theme of the film, producer Sajid Nadiadwala and his distributors have decided to release the film in this unique style.
“You have to make the entire process of movie-going exciting,” Sajid tells me, “Since the title itself talks of marriage, making the entrance of theatres resemble mandaps was the best possible way to attract cinegoers.”
Meanwhile, Zee makes its foray into Overseas distribution with M.S.K. and the company has decided to release the film with as many as 165 prints in the said territory - the highest number for a Salman starrer. “They're leaving no stone unturned to give it their best shot. They've even organized contests, whereby the winners [six couples] will be gifted air tickets to Switzerland,” Sajid adds.

Salman vs Akshay - HT: July 26, 2004
Mujhse Shaadi Karogi? That's the question that Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar ask Priyanka Chopra in this week's potential blockbuster.
It's been a while since Bollywood had a big-budget comedy with a top-class cast at the helm. Akshay had earlier done a comedy with David Dhawan. "Yeah, 'Mr. and Mrs. Khiladi' with Juhi Chawla. I really liked doing that film. To this day it remains one of my favourite films," said Akshay.
Salman has a two-tier interest in the new film. Not only has he done super-successful comedies with director David Dhawan like Biwi No.1, Judwaa and Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge, Salman's personal and professional relationship with producer Sajid Nadiadwala also goes back a long way.
So, does Salman have a better role in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi than Akshay?
No way! In fact the comedy's USP is the one-on-one between the two.
As they do a Tom and Jerry for Priyanka Chopra's hand, one is likely to get the first 'true blue' two-hero film since Ramesh Sippy's Sholay.
After Sholay the two-hero concept has always been lopsided. All the films in the 1980s featuring Amitabh Bachchan with Vinod Khanna/Shashi Kapoor were conspicuously weighed in the former's favour.
In the 1990s, there was Rajkumar Santoshi's Andaz Apna Apna where Aamir Khan and Salman Khan shared equal footage and laughter.
These apart, it's rare for a two-hero film to apportion the scene-stealing cake equally to both men.
David Dhawan excels in two-hero interactive comedies. His last film Ek Aur Ek Gyarah featured Sanjay Dutt and Govinda fooling around to their hearts' content.
In the latest film, for added appeal there's Priyanka Chopra who's already scored bull's eye with Akshay in Andaaz and would, therefore, be considered a hit-and-happening proposition at the box office.
Most of all it's Dhawan, the guru of giggles, who needs to reinvent his laughs.
He started the process in his last film. But in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi? the blend of beach babes and boys' bacchanalia is expected to yield rich dividends.
Says Patna exhibitor Roshan Singh, "Titles with shaadi (marriage) and dulhan (bride) have always been considered auspicious. Years back, Shaadi directed by Krishnan-Panju was a hit. Then there was Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai and David Dhawan's Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge.
"In the recent releases Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai... was a box office hit. Hence we expect Mujhse Shaadi Karogi? to be a major success."
Akshay's last film Aan was a no-no at the box office. Salman's Garv opened well but slid thereafter. And Priyanka's Asambhav, released last week, seems to be a washout.
Can the trio generate box office magic on the wings of mirth?
Apart from Nagesh Kukunoor's badly received Hyderabad Blues 2 and Rajat Kapoor's Raghu Romeo, there hasn't been any significant comedy lately.
Maybe Mujhse Shaadi Karogi? will be another reason for genuine happiness in the industry after Main Hoon Na.

Why MSK went to Mauritius? - Bollyvista: July 26, 2004

Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' will open this Friday to a an earth shattering response for sure, and here is an interesting tit-bit about why the movie was shot in Mauritius despite being based in Goa. According to producer Sajid Nadiadwala, the movie has a lot of beach scenes and ocean shots. While Goa has some of the best beaches in the world, the clear waters of Mauritius were the main reason for shifting there and the results are worth the extra crores spent. Lets hope so Mr. Nadiadwala!

Anger Management - IndiaFM: July 26, 2004
David Dhawan's latest comic offering Mujhse Shaadi Karogi has two guys falling for a girl without any rona-dhona stuff like in usual Bollywood love triangles. So Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan falling in for Priyanka Chopra in the film did remind many a David Dhawan fans of one of his earlier films Deewana Mastana (1997) where Govinda and Anil Kapoor were wooing Juhi Chawla.
However if the buzz is to be believed, the film is not a remake of Deewana Mastana but has some small elements derived from the Hollywood comedy Anger Management (2003) where Akshay Kumar (who plays Jack Nicholson's bit) plays a doctor who comes to cure Salman Khan (who plays the Adam Sandler bit) on Priyanka's call. Also in the Hollywood film, the end was picturized in a football stadium while over here, the game is just changed to adapt to the Indian arena and the climax is picturized on the cricket field .
How correct the info is will be known only on the coming Friday when the film releases. Till then keep guessing…

Corporates promoting MSK - Indolink: July 23, 2004
Corprates Brittania Industries and Reliance Infocom are promoting Sajid Nadiadwala´s up coming release ´Mujhse Shaadi Karogi´.
While Brittania will be using its ´Maska Chaska´biscuit brand , Reliance are promoting the film on its mobile service feature R-World .
Reliance Infocom has previously been associated with with the promotion of big movies like ´Kal Ho Naa Ho´ , ´Koi Mil Gaya ...´ and the recent success ´Garv - Pride & Honour´.

Publicity for MSK - Bollyvista: July 21, 2004
Reports coming in from all around the country are that the publicity for 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' is probably the best ever seen. They have used the old style of large hoardings in Jodhpur, Jalandhar and Jamnagar and it seems to have worked, as it is talk of the trade.

Leaf skirt dance - Indolink: July 19, 2004
It seems like Salman and Akshay Kumar have danced to a song wearing leaf skirts in the upcoming ´Mujhse Shaadi Karogi ´. When asked if he felt awkward about it Akshay Kumar says " No , we danced to impress the girl . We weren´t feeling awkward because there is no scope for awkwardness in this line . We had to do a beach dance and obviously we couldn´t have worn a three piece suit ."

Neither Salman or Akshay - Bollyvista: July 19, 2004
Has David Dhawan repeated a 'Deewana Mastana' in his next, 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'? At least that's what the loose-talkers are saying! We hear that in the climax neither Akshay Kumar nor Salman Khan gets Priyanka Chopra. Another hero (whose identity has been kept a secret) walks in at the end and takes the ex-beauty queen away! Who's this hero? Is it John Abraham or someone else? Let's wait and watch! But remember we told you first!

Music creating waves - July 13, 2004
The music of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainments' latest offering, 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' has caught on in a big way. Its three songs - 'Rab Kare Mujhko Bhi Pyaar Ho Jaye' (Udit, Alka), 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' (Sonu, Udit, Sunidhi) and 'Aaja Soniya' (Sonu, Alka) were instant hits.
Now, its fourth song - 'Laal Dupatta' is also rapidly climbing the popularity charts. The remaining three songs are also quite easy to hum (though not in the same league). With the film yet to release, one has to wait and see where the present sales figures of 13-14 lakh units (very near to that of 'Hum Tum' and 'Lakshya') end up!
No wonder the music of the film is selling like hot cakes and has put its music directors Sajid and Wajid in the top league overnight.

MSK Trailors - July 6, 2004
Every time producer Sajid Nadiadwala embarks on a block buster, he leaves no stone unturned to package it in grand style.For his forthcoming MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI featuring Salman Khan,Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra and directed by David Dhawan, Sajid has made quite a few promos and trailors recently that have to be seen to be believed.After a preview of the trailors recently, the traders from all over gave a standing ovation.The style and content are slickly mounted and one of its kind, and these are any yardstick to go by,Sajid Nadiadwala surely has an ace up his sleeve. Bravo !.

Men in skirts - Midday: July 4, 2004
Stop gushing over Brad and his boys in those leather minis in Greece. Check out Bollywood's hot bods in grass skirts in Goa instead.
Sallu and Akki are dressing down in their new movie Mujhse Shaadi Karogi to impress their neighbour Rani, played by Priyanka Chopra.
This side-splitting film features Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar as roommates Sunny and Samir who fall out when they fall in love with the same girl.
The two will pull any stunt in this David Dhawan-directed, Sajid Nadiadwala-produced caper, including doing the hula to capture her heart. Love is war for Salman and Akshay when Mujhse Shaadi Karogi hits theatres this month!

Similarity - AKC: June 29, 2004
There is one more similarity between Biwi No.1 and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi apart from the fact that both starred Salman Khan in the lead role and both were directed by David Dhawan .
And that uncanny resemblance is in the storyline of both the films. Flashback to 1999 when Biwi No.1 was released. It had Sushmita Sen leaving Saif Ali Khan for a married man played by Salman. The story of the film shifted to Salman and his extra marital affair even though he was married to Karishma Kapoor in the film.
Now come to Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, which will soon hit the theatres. The film has Amrita Arora leaving Salman, who then goes on to fall for Priyanka Chopra .
Akshay Kumar completes the triangle in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi as he is also in love with Priyanka and that’s what the movie is about.
But just as Sushmita settled with Saif in Biwi No.1, will Salman leave Priyanka for Akshay and settle with Amrita Mujhse Shaadi Karogi ? That is the question. And no prizes for guessing because your guess is as good as ours.
Wait for the release of the film on 30th July.

Amrita in MSK - IndiaFM: June 28, 2004
Amrita Arora has a special appearance in David Dhawan's Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. And no, this time it's not an item number. The sister of Malaika Arora Khan plays the ex-lover of the brother of Arbaaz Khan in the film. In short, Amrita plays Salman's ex-girlfriend in the film who ditches him mid-ways after which Salman falls in for Priyanka.
Does that mean Salman settles down for Amrita all over again in the end giving Akshay chance for Priyanka? Nah, we are not saying anything, wait for the movie.

Sajid and Akshay - June 27, 2004
Sajid Nadiadwala on Salman during the making of 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi"
Its been 15 yrs since i know Salman and something or the other draws us together. The best thing about Salman is that he gives my film bulk dates which helps me finish the film fast. Even for this film he agreed to do the film without hearing the story. He makes up for the dates if he is not well or something. After his jail days he made up for the lost time by over working so that the producer should not bear the loss. We all want this film to do well since we all have put in a great effort, My films lack creativity but they are out and out commercial. Film making is a business so my films will have to be commercial first.

Akshay on Salman
I have worked with David and priyanka before but this is for the first time i am working with Salman and it has been a wonderful experience working with him. I remember Salman's words, " Akshay this is my last film with you. You arrive early on the sets and just to keep up with you i too have to get up early and be on the sets." But i am sure Salman and i going to work in other film soon.

Character Sketches - Deep Hembrol: June 24, 2004
There are those humble souls who won't mind giving up their love for the sake of their friend and then there are Samir (Salman Khan) and Sunny (Akshay Kumar). The two roommates are determined to give each other a hard time when both fall in love with Rani (Priyanka Chopra).
The character sketches:
Salman Khan Brawny and handsome Samir works as a lifeguard on one of the beaches of beautiful Goa. The much-sought out bachelor under the sun looses his heart when he stumbles upon Rani. All his efforts to win Rani go astray as Sunny enters the scene.
Akshay Kumar Sunny an equally smart suitor for Rani but a formidable challenge for Samir. Besides sharing an apartment with Samir his objective is to misfire Samir's plans and to make his own ends meet
Priyanka Chopra Rani a young fashion designer and daughter of a Army man Col. Dugraj Singh (Amrish Puri) finds the tussle amidst the two suitors for her entertaining and invigorating.
Director David Dhawan's expertise and specialization is in the comic front and his past record that has films like Shola aur Shabnam, Aankhein, Coolie No.1, Hero No.1, Deewana Mastana, Haseena Maan Jayegi are enough for the account. Along with the main leads the cast also includes Rajpal Yadav, Satish Shah who will help in tickling the funny bone. Another highlight is the special appearence of the Kaanta laga girl Shefali Zariwala who also has a song sequence in the film. The romantic comedy offers nothing but oodles of laughter all the way but who gets the queen? Find out yourself in Muhjse Shaadi Karogi.
MSK is tentatively scheduled for 30th July 2004 release.

On the Pitch - Indiatimes: June 24, 2004
Movies, shaadi and cricket are the big three in India. And producer Sajid Nadiadwala seems to have come up with the perfect mix of success with his ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karoge'. So while Priyanka Chopra is struggling with the choice of two hunks – Sallu and Akki – there's some more news coming over the grapevine that will bowl all movie and cricket lovers over –literally! Rumour has it that for one of the scenes of the film the resourceful Sajid has roped in real cricket superstars like Kapil Dev, Irfan Patel, Navjot Singh and Harbhajan Singh (among others) to make a brief appearance in one scene that is reportedly shot on a cricket pitch. Though, when quizzed, secretive Sajid simply said, “I deny it!” Well, so we guess we'll have to wait and see for ourselves. But it sure reeks of a boundary already!

Curtain Raiser - Stardust(July): June 24, 2004
THE BRIDE
PRIYANKA CHOPRA
'Akshay, I've worked with before & there was a comfort level. Initially, with Salman, there was a distance. But he was very sweet. He was very understanding & patient with me. He'd make suggestions & all that & he looked after me. No, he didn't play any wild pranks on me. Naah, not at all. [well then,she's certainly missed something!]. I've heard abt his pranks. He was really sweet.

SUITOR NO. 1
AKSHAY KUMAR
'I've worked with David Dhawam in 'Mr & Mrs Khiladi', & Priyanka in 'Andaz' before. It was only the first time working with Salman & I really enjoyed the experience. We had a great time working & we didn't even realise when the movie got over, in just about 35 days. I always remember that statement of his , that Salman said, ' Akshay, this is my last film with you. Because you come on the sets every morning by 6 & 7 & I can't, but i have to keep up with you just to portray myself also as being on time. So this is my last film with you'.
But that is just a joke, may be we'll be doing another film together soon.
And who gets the girl? Good question, try again'

SUITOR NO. 2
SALMAN KHAN
Probably the 397 th woman he must be wooing. All we can say is, hope he gets the girl this time round, considering that his luck on that score in films has been as bad as his real life score!

SPECIAL APPEARANCE
AMRITA ARORA
Amrita Arora has a special appearance where she plays Salman's past lover, who literally leaves him high & dry at the altar. 'It was like a home production on Sajid's sets, with Salman & Sajid & Davidji too. It was so comfortable & such fun to be even a small part of the movie', chirps Amrita, who, for the first time, has been cast opposite her superstar brother-in-law [in a way].
HOPEFULLY, THEY ALL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Cricketers in MSK - IndiaFM: June 22, 2004
It was meant to be one big secret, but not anymore! Producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director David Dhawan have decided to do away with the usual humdrum ending for their Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra starrer MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI.
Besides the three lead players, guess who participated in the picturization of the climax in Bangalore recently? Noted cricketers Kapil Dev, Navjot Singh Siddhu, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, Mohammed Kaif, Ashish Nehra, Parthiv Patel and Srinath. "The climax of the film is on a cricket pitch, hence the participation of cricketers," MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI director David Dhawan informs me.
While the promotions of MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI on television have already gathered momentum, the enterprising producer of the film has now come up with a 64-page palm-sized book, which gives an insight into this love triangle, besides tips on how to woo a woman. The pics of the three stars in various moods only increase the curiosity towards the film.
Meanwhile, David is all geared up to start shooting of the Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen, Katrina Kaif, Arshad Warsi and Rajpal Yadav starrer [not titled yet] from July onwards. Produced by Dhilin Mehta, Seema Kar and Sohail Khan, the film has music by Himesh Reshammiya.

Synopsis - AKC: June 22, 2004
Two guys in love with the same girl. Both trying every possible antic to win her love. Both are arch-enemies but still they have to put up in the same apartment. David Dhawan's Mujhse Shaadi Karogi promises to be a laugh riot.
Samir (Salman Khan) is a brawny hunk working as a lifeguard in Goa. He is a handsome guy who hardly cares a hoot for the average-looking beach beauties. Only a stunner could catch his attention.
One day he spots a girl who almost makes his heart burst out. She is Rani (Priyanka Chopra), an aspiring designer dedicated to making her career. A totally smitten Samir gets down to the act of wooing her. But there are hurdles galore.
The first one is none other than his flatmate Sunny (Akshay Kumar), who is no less besotted with Rani. And surprisingly the streak of luck often favors Sunny, while everything Samir does to impress Rani goes spectacularly wrong. Even the advises from Samir's astrologer friend Raj (Rajpal Yadav) bring forth nothing ominous for him.
And then there is hurdle number two - Rani's stern father Colonel Dugraj Singh (Amrish Puri) who fought the Goan war against the Portuguese and is now retired and over-protective about his daughter.
While both Samir and Sunny try their best to woo Rani, she discovers fun and enjoyment in life, all this while keeping both the men on tenterhooks.

MSK - Indolink: June 17, 2004
I first heard the words "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi" in a Dhavid Dhawan flick called Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge. When I first heard the plot of the story, the first feeling I got was: 1) Does it star Govinda? (Hopefully not!) and 2) Is it Deewana Mastana 2? (Once again hopefully not!)
David Dhawan filled the 1990s with some rib-tickling comedies such as: Raja Babu, Coolie #1, Aankhen, Deewana Mastana, and others we remember.
Over the last few years, this director has had bad luck with making mediocre comedies, but with Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, he's got a competent and talented cast and a plot that may bring the audiences to believe in the D-man.
So what's this story about? Its quite simple, we got handsome Samir (Salman Khan) living in Goa and he falls in love with Rani (Priyanka Chopra). Sunny (Akshay Kumar) also falls for Rani. Sound familiar? We have two grown men playing mind tricks to outsmart the other to win this woman's affections.
With both hunks running after this beauty, there is bound to be comedy. Both guys want to marry Rani, but does she feel the connection with one of them? Slated for a July release, this is one comedy I think we should look forward too. The inside buzz is looking positive and the promos look appealing to pull in all types of audiences. Hopefully, we will regain our faith in David Dhawan comedies again.
Salman Khan has had a big hit with Dhawan before in Biwi # 1 while Akshay Kumar has a mediocre film, Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi to his credit. This is Priyanka Chopra's first attempt at comedy on the screen with Dhawan. Hopefully, the on-screen chemistry she shares with her co-stars works in favour for the movie.
We have some funny supporting cast members who play important roles in this love triangle: Amrish Puri, Satish Shah, and Rajpal Yadav.
As an added bonus, we get to see yet another Matrix sequence in this Bollywood film. Supposedly, a shirtless Salman takes on a hundred Akshays. Sounds like something new in Bollywood, but I think the Matrix in Indian films is getting stale. Hopefully, RS. 50 million invested in scene is worth the watch.

10 lakhs in 2 weeks - Indolink: June 17, 2004
The critics and music rewiers had a field day putting down the music of David Dhawan´s ´Mujhse Shaadi Karogi´ .
However , as always the paying public has a mind of its own and the audio of ´Mujhse Shaadi Karogi´ has achieved an astonishing sales of 10 lakh units in just two weeks , a figure that took ´Hum Tum´ a couple of months to achieve Another big winner for the audio giants T-Series after ´Main Hoon Na´ .

May 25, 2004
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is pleased at the curiosity he is arousing courtesy the promos of his next release Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, directed by David Dhawan and starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra.
“The film is about marriage with both guys proposing to the girl, so I thought why not use a wedding invite as a promo? The first promo had Salman getting the girl, now we will have Akshay getting her. So people will then naturally wonder whose wedding is it?”
But hadn't Sajid said somewhere that Sajid himself gets the girl? “No way!” he guffaws with laughter. “I am a happily married man.”
Apart from the promos, a very big USP, Sajid feels, is the combo of Sallu and Akki for the first time. “In all my earlier releases, I have introduced a fresh pairing like Sunny-Salman in Jeet, Sanjay (Dutt)-Govinda in Andolan and Rani-Preity in Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega to name some.”
But that's not all. A main highlight of this “romantic comedy”, Sajid informs us is “the Kaanta lagaa number by Shefali Jariwala.” Yes, the original Kaanta Lagaa girl! “But it is not an item number,” Sajid says because he doesn't go for such numbers in his films.
"Though Shefali is dancing to the Kaanta Lagaa song in Mujhse Shaadi Karoge, it has not been shot as an item number but as a part of the sequence in the film. She has a cameo role in the film.”
So will Sallu and Akki go for Shefali? Now that would be a tale worth telling...

The first promo of 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' will be of 30 seconds duration and will feature the two lead actor's Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan and will be aired around the second week of May.

If sources are to be believed, David Dhawan, the badshaah of masala fares, is all set to bounce back with MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI. David looked out of form in his last few films, but the director with maximum hits to his credit seems to have spun magic in MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI. “It has shaped up amazingly well,” David tells me, “Though Salman and Akshay have been teamed for the first time, the on-screen chemistry is fantastic. That's one of the prime reasons why the film is looking great.”
Known for directing multiple films, David has decided to take it easy once MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI releases. “I've decided to reinvent my strategies. But that shouldn't be misconstrued as taking a break from work. The offers continue to pour in like never before. I am doing a film for Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria [starring Sanjay Dutt], plus there's a project with Vashu Bhagnani in the pipeline. It's just that I am doing some serious rethinking about the kind of movies I intend making in the future,” he states.
What actually prompted David to arrive at this decision? “It's time we changed with the rapidly-changing times. The same oft-repeated formula will not work anymore,” he adds, “I am watching a lot of movies these days. While in Pakistan recently, I picked up lots of movies that I intend catching up on. You've to change before the viewers show you the exit door.” True!

The entire shooting of Nadiadwala Grandson entertainment's, 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi', is now complete and the dubbing has started. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by David Dhawan, the film pairs two of India’s hottest box-office stars today, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar (together for the first time), along with Priyanka Chopra. The movie was sold out across India on the day of its launching and is one of the hottest awaited movies of 2004, in the distribution circle. The film has music by Sajid-Wajid (previously by Anu Malik) and is due for release on July 16th.

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala and the three leading actors of his film, ´Mujhse Shaadi Karogi ´, make a lucky quartet . That is if one believes that nine is a lucky number, numerologically speaking. Numerologists assert that things will be fine for those whose birth date adds up to nine, and the birth dates of each of the of the foursome does, in fact, total nine.
Sajid´s birth date is 18th February (1+8=9) , Salman Khan´s is 27th December, Akshay Kumar´s is 9th September and Priyanka Chopra´s is 18th July . The only ´odd guy ´ out is the films director David Dhawan, whose birthday falls on 16th August . But that does not make David any less lucky . For seven (1+6=7) , too is considered lucky.
Any which way, each of the four persons has a reason to be on cloud nine or in seventh heaven! Are the distributors of ´Mujhse Shaadi Karogi´ smiling too?

Ever heard of a producer putting up a set in a foreign land? Well, that's exactly what producer Sajid Nadiadwala is doing for his comedy flick, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. Producers usually shoot on locations and bungalows when abroad. But besides that, Nadiadwala will also shoot on a huge set he is getting built in Mauritius.
Art director Sharmishta Roy is already there since 20 days with her team, busy erecting a huge set for the film starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra. Roy's set for the same film at Film City in Mumbai had become the talk of the industry for its fine detailing.
Director David Dhawan is scheduled to shoot not just songs but also action scenes of the love triangle on the set in Mauritius and locations in the foreign country in a month-long stint beginning January 9th. Sajid is expected to take a unit of 300 people to Mauritius for the shoot.

The cute pug which is currently the ‘follow me' model in cell-phone commercials will emerge a ‘big-screen celeb' in its own right after the release of this movie Mujhse Shaadi Karoge directed by David Dhawan.
Apparently, the star doggie belongs to heroine Priyanka Chopra in the movie and is the centre of attraction when it does the ‘vanishing act'. Ask the heroes of the film Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar and they will share the tensions of ‘puppy love' with you.

December 11 , 2003
Producer Sajid Nadiawala wants something hatke.None of the usual dishum-dishum between two heroes in his latest film, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. So, you have Salman Khan fighting 100 Akshay Kumars for heroine Priyanka Chopra!
Nadiawala explains, "I bought the same camera used in Keanu Reaves' Matrix series [where Keanu fights 100 Agent Smiths], and we will create 100 Akshays fighting Salman. It will be one of the unique scenes in our film. The technical term of this motion camera will be understood only by those who know photography. It helps in the multiplication of images."
Nadiadwala hopes Indian audiences will love this technology. "The camera costs Rs 5 crore [Rs 50 million]. I imported it specially from Hollywood for this film," he says.
Director David Dhawan gets ready for the shot. When he yells 'action', Akshay Kumar steps forward, along with two look-alikes. Replete with artificial nose and padded jaws, it is hard to tell the difference between Akshay and his look-alikes.
Salman takes his position against the three Akshays after taking his shirt off and displaying his muscles. After the shot, he struts around shirtless with light blue jeans and cowboy shoes. A earring in his navel grabs attention.
When asked about three Akshays on the sets, Dhawan replies, "Watch the film and you will see what wonders we are doing with it. I cannot reveal anything more because it will lead to revealing the story."
Nadiadwala plans to spend Rs 22 crore [Rs 220 million] on the film. After its Mumbai stint, the unit will fly to Mauritius and Italy to shoot 50 per cent of the film.
In Mumbai, the shooting venue is atop a hillock in Film City. Called Helipad, the place is windy, green and very silent. There are no buildings around.
Some children roller skate and cycle for the shot. A huge library has the numbers 1850 painted on it. A church, some restaurants and pubs constitute the rest of the sets.
Nadiadwala claims he had wanted to shoot in Goa, but couldn't go there. So he tried to recreate Goa in Mumbai's Film City.
Akshay states that he was keen to learn more about the technology in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. "I know there were some scenes in Matrix which took 90 days to shoot. It is interesting to know about this technology. But it will take a long time for such technologies to come to India."
Salman was forthcoming. "I have only understood what they are doing in the shots," he says. "I don't want to get into the details of the camera and technicalities. It is best that the people who handle the camera do their job well so that the audience will love the film on screen."
Mujhse Shaadi Karogi is likely to release in May 2004.

December 10 , 2003

Sajid Nadiadwala has specially imported hi-tech motion control machines from Hollywood for his upcoming Salman Khan - Akshay Kumar starrer "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi" to be directed by David Dhawan. This is for the first time that these machines would be used in a Bollywood movie for executing action sequences similar to those, witnessed in the Hollywood superhits like 'Matrix'.
Commented an enthusiastic looking Akshay Kumar "I am trying to understand what the whole thing is. Now I realize that things they have done in Matrix, like the scene in which 60 persons who were looking the same and attacking Keanu Reeves took about 90 days to shoot. This kind of tecnology coming in India will be a great thing and let's see how successful we can be as this is the first time it's going to happen over here between me and Salman."
A whopping 1.5 crores will be spent for the picturization of this 4 minute sequence in the film.

December 04, 2003
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has some mega plans for his forthcoming film ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karoge'. Nope, we are not talking about Salman and Akshay Kumar coming together for the first time—that's stale news. The latest on the front is that Nadiadwala is bringing Goa to Mumbai. And for that he successfully transformed an entire patch of Filmcity into Goa . Designer Sharmista Roy has created a set which resembles Goa . Apparently around 40,000 massive wood planks were used to construct the sets, which forced producers of three different films to cancel their shoots because of the scarcity of wood planks. When asked about it, Nadiadwala laughs, “Yeah there was some shortage. I heard Raj Kanwar had to cancel his shoots as a result. Actually we had to use lots of planks all over to support the sets, as it is situated at a height and there are strong winds blowing in these parts.”

Salman Khan is chasing a dog to win Priyanka Chopra's heart in Film City!
No, it's not real life but reel life. It's the shooting of Sajid Nadiadwala's Mujhse Shaadi Karoge directed by David Dhawan and starring Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra.
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala says about his film, “I am a romantic and David is comic. Thus Mujhse Shaadi Karoge is a romantic comedy.” The film is special for him because, “Two of my close friends are coming together for the first time.
One is a school friend (Kumar) and the other is a business friend (Khan). These guys have been in the industry for 12 years and they have never worked together so getting them together was great.”
Dhawan is having a ball making such light, breezy entertainers because, “As a maker you should enjoy what you are doing. Manmohan Desai used to make only entertaining films.”
On his hero Salman he says, “This is my fifth film with Salman. We share an amazing professional relationship. He is a very good actor and almost like a child.” According to Dhawan, “Akshay Kumar has improved in leaps and bounds in every way from Mr and Mrs Khiladi to now. He is a great guy, he picks up so fast.”
Leading lady Chopra plays Rani, who is “a simple girl with simple aspirations living in Goa and wants to make it big as a designer. It's a situational comedy,” Chopra says.
She describes the scene they are shooting today. “I have a dog called Tommy and my father is very attached to him. Salman brings a fake dog and gives it to him to win my affection and I say what a good guy he is.
This makes him one up on Akshay who seethes in frustration.”
Kumar says it in simpler terms. “It's a love triangle based in Goa, where two roommates fall in love with their neighbour's daughter and both ask her mujhse shaadi karoge? I play Sunny who loves to create misunderstandings between people.”
Salman plays a Baywatch-like lifeguard's role in the film. Says Khan, “My character feels angry at every wrong thing done.” He continues, “For the first time David has tried to convey some message to his audience.
His message is that when your time is bad no matter what you do, things will always go wrong and secondly you cannot keep a talented man down for long.”

Set appeal
• The film will also have special effects like timeslide, burlybrawls and multiplications, some of which were used in The Matrix. A special effects team from Australia is coming down for that.
• The set resembles Goa. Apparently, number of planks used to construct the sets was over 40,000. So many planks were used in this shoot, that at one point producers of three different films had to cancel their shoots because they couldn't get enough planks.
Nadiadwala admits, “There was shortage of planks all over because we used so many planks because of the length and height of the sets.
Usually a set may have more or less than this amount. But since we have constructed buildings having heights of two or three floors we have had to use lots of planks.
We could have shot in Goa if we needed to shoot for just four or five days. But since it's was more than that we had to construct the set here. The approximate set amount at ground level has cost us about Rs 3 crore.”

She shot to fame, tattoo and all, with a music video. Most folks know her as the ‘Kaanta Laga' girl, rather than by name. It's an identity that Shefali Jariwala is going to find very hard to get rid of. But these days, it's not something she's giving much thought to — especially because the blue eye shadow and the faux-thongs are helping rake in the bucks. Now, before you let your imagination run away with you, let's tell you what we're implying. We're told, and Shefali confirms it, that a film with Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan is in the offing.
“It's not a role, it's a guest appearance,” says Shefali, and we'll decode that for you — she means ‘item number'.
The Kaanta Laga track with Shefali and her now-famous moves will be replayed on the big screen in this Sajid Nadiadwala film. Love it or hate it, here's the song again!

November 21 , 2003

Contrary to speculation, it's not ‘good friend' Katrina Kaif who plays Salman Khan's wife in Mujhse Shaadi Karoge (Priyanka Chopra in the lead). Amrita Arora plays the macho Khan's biwi. As is known, Amrita is Malaika Arora-Khan's sibling, so Salman is “like family to me and we have a great rapport”.

While on producer Sajid Nadiadwala and his new film , Mujhse Shaadi Karoge , its launching was not a routine event because Sajid did what very few producer´s may have done in the past . He invited all his distributors to Bombay to attend the muhurat and put them up at a 5-star hotel at his own expense .
Sajid now intends taking his all-India distributors to Mauritius for a week in November this year when the film starring Salman Khan ,Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra , will be shot there.
Says Sajid , " For a film to be sold for all-India on the day of its muhurat is no mean achievement in today´s times.My movie , Mujhse Shaadi Karoge has been picked up by all my permanent distributors who have always stood by me. I owe them a foreign trip".

Govinda recently announced that he would quit working in comedy films. But his mentor, director David Dhawan, whose films like Raja Babu , Coolie No 1, and Hero No 1 have featured Govinda, has no such plan. "I am not tired of making comedy films," said Dhawan. "It is a way of life."
So, Dhawan recently launched Mujhse Shaadi Karogi , a comic love triangle starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra.
His cast is backing him on his venture as well. "I loved the script and said yes to the role immediately," Salman Khan said.
Like in his latest hit Tere Naam , Khan has a new hairstyle for this film. He has gone in for hair-weaving. "The role demanded this look," Khan explained, "so I am adopting this hairstyle. I only hope everyone loves it just like they loved my look in Tere Naam ."
Referring to the success of Tere Naam , he admitted, "I never expected the film will do this well at the box office."
Akshay Kumar clad in a brown suit seemed to be in high spirits after the success of Andaaz , his latest film. He pointed out that he has slowly eased into comedy from his earlier action films. "I am comfortable now," he said. "I think we all did a good job in [ Priyadarsan's ] Hera Pheri [ co-starring Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty ]. I have no problems acting in a comedy film."
The two actors refused to speak much about their roles, saying it is a secret.
All David Dhawan would say was that both Akshay and Salman are in love with Priyanka. They want to marry her and have a simple question for her, Mujhse shaadi karogi ? And that is the title of the film.

September 14, 2003
Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar will fight it out to win the heart of former Miss World Priyanka Chopra in a new comedy to be directed by ace film maker David Dhawan.
"Mujhse Shaadi Karogi?", was announced this week by Dhawan who is known for making some of Bollywood's best known comic films such as "Coolie Number One" and "Biwi Number One".
"'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi?' is about two men chasing one woman and want to marry her. It is a complete entertainer and a comedy film," Dhawan told AFP.
Dhawan, who has not delivered a hit for more than two years, is confident his latest venture will fare well at the box office because he is tapping into the talents of two actors whose careers are on the ascendant.
Khan's latest film "Tere Naam" and Kumar's "Andaaz" are both faring well at the box office.
Dhawan is not worried that audiences may reject the action heroes taking comic roles, saying they both have done so in the past.
"The film will appeal because the script is brilliant and Akshay and Salman have proved themselves to be good comedians by making hit comedy films early in their careers," Dhawan said.
"I have worked with Salman and he is very spontaneous in comedy scenes."
Kumar delivered a hit comedy film "Hera Pheri" two years ago while Khan worked with Dhawan five years ago in "Biwi Number One", which did good business at the box office.
"I am very comfortable with comedy. I have been in the industry for more than a decade now and can manage any kind of role," said Khan.
The past year has been particularly traumatic for Khan after he was arrested for a hit-and-run case when he allegedly drove his imported vehicle over five homeless men killing one and injuring four.
"Tere Naam" was his first film to be released after the accident case. "I never expected 'Tere Naam' to do so well. I am grateful to God and to all the people who made my film a hit," he said.
Both Kumar and Chopra are upbeat about "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi?", which will cost Rs 250 million. It will be shot in Italy, South Africa and Mumbai.
"I will try my best to give a good performance and make people laugh in the film," Kumar told AFP.
"I am feeling thrilled to work in the film because I will try my hand for the first time at comedy and that too working with a comedy king director like David Dhawan," said Chopra, who has acted in two action films, "Andaaz" and "Hero".
"Mujhse Shaadi Karogi?" is expected to be ready by summer 2004.

“It's all about love, romance and other natural disasters,” said Sajid Khan about producer Sajid Nadiadwala's new film Mujhse Shadi Karogi, at its launch at Filmistan Studios yesterday.
The unusual combination cast of Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra cut what Sajid called the ‘cake of success' to inaugurate the film. The two-tier cake actually toppled while it was being cut, but with their respective recent hits — Tere Naam and Andaz — Salman, Akshay and Priyanka looked as if they'd already tasted success.
If you are wondering why anyone would cast two action heroes in a romantic film, director David Dhawan is quick to reply: “They look so good together. They were our first choice.”
When Nadiadwala first decided to work on the film, he called Salman Khan. The next call was to old school friend Akshay Kumar. “I have cast combinations like Akshay Kumar-Sunil Shetty in Waqt Hamara Hai, Salman-Sunny Deol in Jeet or even Salman in a double role before,” he explains.
The mahurat was held on a portion of the set where Salman's introductory shot was to be filmed. Some 30 cameras were laid out for the occasion.
Nadiadwala's trio took centrestage at the mahurat, and he hopes they will at the box office too. And wishing him well on the occasion were Sanjay Dutt, Preity Zinta, Karan Johar, Farah Khan (who's the choreographer for the film), Atul Agnihotri, Puneet Issar, Ayub Khan and others.

August 22, 2003
The launch of Sajid Nadiadwala's MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI has been preponed. The film will now roll on September 9, instead of September 10.

After falling in love, failing to woo her man and losing him to another woman in both her films, The Hero and Andaaz, actress Priyanka Chopra will now have two men chase her. In Sajid Nadiadwala's next Mujhse Shaadi Karoge, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar will woo the actress and fight over her.

Both are hunks. Both have had female fans drool over them for years now. While one is still footloose, the other turned papa less than a year ago. Now, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar will bond together on-screen for the first time in producer Sajid Nadiadwala's Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. The film, which is said to be a comedy, will be directed by David Dhawan under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandsons. The shooting for the film will begin in July. Mujhse Shaadi Karogi is scripted by Anees Bazmee who, with Dhawan, has delivered hits like Aankhen (Govinda, Chunky Pandey, Raageshwari, Ritu Shivpuri), Shola Aur Shabnam (Govinda, the late Divya Bharti) and Bol Radha Bol (Rishi Kapoor, Juhi Chawla).
