Abhishek Bachchan stars as Dhilipp Mehta, Bipasha Basu as Reva and Prateik Babbar as Manav. In supporting roles, Kangana Ranaut plays Atreya D'Costa, Aditya Pancholi portrays Rajiv Mahal, Monty Munford plays Alexei and Mariah Gomes Crisanna Wilton.

Telugu superstar Rana Daggubati and Govind Namdeo will make an appearance, as will Deepika Padukone who is set to shake her hips to the title song Dum Maaro Dum, Pritam’s remake of Zeenat Aman's original Hare Rama Hare Krishna.

Deepika was however shocked to hear the new lyrics and decided they went against her image. But the Bollywood belle and director Rohan Sippy managed to agree in the end and Dips will not lip-sync any lyrics she finds inappropriate.

“The song is a classic and everything about it is unique. These days everyone is doing promotional songs. We want to be different and do something unique. Legendary names are involved with the song and we don’t want to tarnish their reputation by doing a bad job. We want to do complete justice to the song and live up to the expectations of the earlier song,” Rohan Sippy told reporters.

Like Steven Soderbergh’s Oscar winning movie Traffic with Benicio Del Toro dealt with drug trafficking between the U.S. and Mexico, Dum Maaro Dum follows the drug mafia in Goa.

Abhishek Bachchan plays Dhilipp Mehta, a bold narcotics police officer. The movie is described as an edgy and dramatic thriller. "The film is shaping up very well and the audiences should get ready to enjoy a gripping, moving film with great visual appeal coming their way," Ramesh Sippy told DNAI.

Dum Maaro Dum hits theaters on April 22.
