A modern times take on the 'Krishna - Sudama' folklore, Billo Barber is remake of the Malayalam film, Katha Parayumbol, starring Sreenivasan and Mammootty; in which Irrfan Khan reprises Sreenivasan's role and Shah Rukh Mammootty's. Filming for the Bollywood version is currently underway. Shah Rukh Khan plays an actor brought up in a village, who has moved out to the city. Irrfan Khan plays his childhood friend, who has grown up to become the village barber. After having drifted apart the two meet again when a film unit camps at the village to shoot a film. Shah Rukh Khan romances three women in the film - Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor and Deepkia Padukone. Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone play cameos, as two Bollywood leading ladies vying for Shah Rukh's attention.
