Raj Chopra listens to the story and agrees to produce the film. b) Dev's friend, Ragni ( Nazia Hussain), accidentally auditions for the role and Raj finalizes her to be the lead actress. Finally, the shooting starts in Goa. While Dev is trying to make the movie, Raj is more concerned about wooing Ragni and takes her to casinos and parties occasionally. The twist in the story comes in the middle of the movie shoot. While the team is shooting a scene where Raj saves Ragni from thugs, Goa Police arrives at the location and arrests the whole crew and puts them behind bars. When Ragni asks Dev what will happen next, Raj replies that only Arru Bhai (Mukul Dev) can save them. Arru is a powerful mobster in Mumbai and is the one who is financing this movie on Raj's request. Raj calls Arru and asks him to come to Goa. Arru Bhai lies to his wife (Deepshikha Nagpal) that he's going to Hyderabad for an urgent meeting. He then goes to Goa and gets the whole crew out of the police station. When the shoot resumes, Arru Bhai starts liking Ragni and falls in love with her...all this while Raj is already in love with her. Ragni is stuck between the three men. The story gets another twist when Arru Bhai's wife finds out that he had lied about his trip to go to Goa. She goes to Goa and the story continues.
