They believe in doing almost anything to get a particular lady's attention. Even if that means acting like a clown.
They are Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh and the lady in question is Vidya Balan. No, we're not talking real life here but of their upcoming film, Heyy Babyy.
Directed by Sajid Khan, the film promises rib-tickling comedy in the form of the three men trying to handle a baby.
Now, these actors are quite well-versed with the comedy genre. Akshay Kumar has become the king of comedy of sorts, thanks to his hilarious movies like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhaag...
Fardeen and Riteish are just as good with comedy -- watch Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega and Bluffmaster and you would agree.

Looks like Vidya Balan couldn’t exactly gulp down the massive criticism that came her way after ‘Heyy Babyy’ and ‘Kismet Konnection’, for the actress has shed a super ten kilos and is apparently looking spectacular.
According to reports, Vidya was keeping a low profile of late after facing tremendous flak from the critics and had resolved to shock everyone with an all new Vidya. It seems that the actress has fulfilled her resolution, as she is looking much lighter and much happier with her looks than before.
The performance powerhouse, who was recently spotted at yesteryear actress Shammi’s 80th birthday party, looked her slimmest best and it is believed that the guests at the party were startled to see a much slender Balan.
Insiders suggest that Vidya has never looked so slim and in such perfect shape. Reportedly, the secret behind her weight loss is her workout regime and a vigilant diet, which she had adopted a few months ago.
Starlet Vidya Balan has rubbished rumours on her supposed romance with actor Vivek Oberoi. The actress seems to be in no mood for fun and has come down heavily on assumptions regarding her personal life.Vidya, who’s been linked to almost every actor that she has worked in the past, is surprised by the link-up, as she is not even working with Vivek at present.
In a clarification to the media, the actress exclaimed “I have met Vivek some one-and-a-half times only.While Vidya can’t stop denying the gossip, Vivek seems to be loving all the undue attention, for the actor has been out of scene for quite sometime now since the debacle of his last release ‘Mission Istanbul’.
According to reports, Vivek has got a lot of publicity because of the same. But with Vidya’s clarification loud and clear, guess it is the end of all the attention for poor chap Vivek!
