Speaking to reporters at the unveiling of the first look of the film, Madhur said it was for the first time that he had attempted a romantic comedy. "It is a slice of life movie," he said.

Produced by his Bhandarkar Entertainment and Kumar Mangat Pathak's Wide Frame Pictures, 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' is all set to release on 28th January, 2011.

The film is a romantic comedy starring Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, '3 Idiots' fame Omi Vaidya in the male leads and Shruti Hassan, Shazahn Padamsee and Shraddha Das in the female leads. The music in the film is by Pritam.

Bhandarkar said for the first time, he has explored the genre of romantic comedy within realistic parameters.

"It is a slice of life film about three men and their encounters with love. A listless Naren Ahuja (Ajay Devgn), well into his thirties and going through a divorce, falls in love with a vibrant and bubbly June Pinto (Shazahn Padamsee) who has just stepped out of her teens.

Milind Kelkar (Omi Vaidya), a naive poet and an idealistic lover, is besotted by an ambitious and practical Gungun Sarkar (Shraddha Das) who is determined to follow her dreams and a charming Casanova Abhay (Emraan Hashmi), starts feeling an alien emotion called love, when he feels increasingly drawn towards Nikki (Shruti Hassan), a modern girl who knows her wants and speaks her mind."

Struggling to cope with modern women and contemporary relationships, these three men go through a fun-filled roller coaster ride of emotions with its constant highs and lows that usually accompany love.

"But will they succeed in their quest for happiness or love? Or does destiny have different plans for them - that is the crux of this story," Madhur said.
