Die Synchronsprecherin Sehar Thapar (Ayesha Takia) aus Delhi kann sich nach einer Party, die sie mit ihrer Freundin Ritu (Anjana Sukhani) besucht hat, an nichts mehr erinnern. Der ganze Sonntag scheint wie ausgelöscht. Der Polizist Rajveer Randhava (Ajay Devgan), der schon bald Gefühle für die junge Frau entwickelt, nimmt sich Sehars Problem an. In sein Visier geraten der Taxifahrer Ballu (Arshad Warsi) und sein Kumpel, der Schauspieler Kumar (Irfan Khan), ebenso wie ein Politikersohn, ein Stalker, ein Dealer und andere Gestalten. Eine Aufklärung des Falls ist doppelt wichtig, denn Sehar wird durch ihre Amnesie zur Verdächtigen in einem Mordfall. Nur Rajveer kann ihre Unschuld beweisen und gleichzeitig herausfinden, was an dem "vermissten Sonntag" passiert ist.

“Irrfan Khan plays Shah Rukh Khan in Sunday” - Rohit Shetty - September 27
Auszug
Rohit Shetty is the son of legendary action director and actor Action Shetty. But that is not his only claim to fame. The director, who is all of 33, is one of the youngest and most talented directors around. His journey as a filmmaker began from the age of 15, when he started assisting Kuku Kohli for Phool Aur Kaante. The director is only two films old with Zameen and Golmaal. Now he is all set to come up with his two new films, namely Golmaal 2 and Sunday. So we at Indiatimes Movies spoke to him regarding his upcoming films and more.
What do you have to offer in Sunday? Sunday is a comedy-thriller which has dual amount of humour in it. It is a typical 70’s format film. Ayesha Takia plays a dubbing artist who dubs voices for cartoon characters. One fine day she wakes up in the morning and finds that people around her have changed and are behaving very differently. There’s lot of humor and mystery in the film. It has been shot in Delhi. It also stars Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Irrfan Khan and Anjana Sukahani.
That’s an interesting star cast. What about their characterizations? Ajay Devgan plays a cop. Arshad Warsi is a cab-driver in the film. Irrfan Khan plays a struggling actor who is trying to make it big since a long time. And as I said, Ayesha Takia plays a dubbing artist who dubs voices for cartoon characters.
Why a title like Sunday? We chose the name Sunday because the story revolves around an issue which happens on that particular day. It is not only about one Sunday’s story, but the flow of events that follow. While writing the script, we liked the name and found it interesting enough to be the title of the film. So, the title is as unusual as the film is going to be.
It has been reported that Irrfan Khan is going to have different getups in the film. Yes, it is true. He is going to have different getups every time he comes on screen. He becomes Shah Rukh Khan or an advocate or any other personality. He gets into the skin of every character before going for an audition. Hence the several get ups. Irfan plays a very cute, different character. I wanted an unusual person for this role, not a regular comedian. Irfan has always done serious roles. So I wanted to take up the challenge of turning him into a funny man.
Is Sunday a male dominated film? No, it is not. The film is about an incident in the girl’s life and how these different characters enter the scenario.
How much scope will the female characters Ayesha Takia and Anjana Sukhani have? Everybody has scope according to the screenplay. All of them play important characters and everybody has a vital role to play in the scheme of events. Every character is different. Not only Ajay (the cop) suspects everybody, but even the audience finds every character suspicious as to who the culprit is. It is a kind of suspense drama.
Has the entire film been shot in Delhi? Yes. We had a month-long schedule in March and June. And it was very beautiful. We have built a set of a police station where we have been shooting. We have shown India Gate and the exteriors of Rashtrapati Bhavan. We have also shot at Chandni Chowk with the crowds. In a way, we have covered the whole of Delhi.
Who’s doing the music for Sunday? The music is very unusual. We have roped in different music directors for every other song. Daler Mehndi has done one song, Raghav Sachar (of Kabul Express fame) has done two songs, Shibani Kashyap and a Pakistani band- Suroor have done one song each.
Why did you go for such a varied range of music directors? I just wanted to try this for a change. Because everybody chosen has not only composed the music, but also sung for their track. So somewhere down the line as everybody’s style is different, no song will have the same tone and soul.
What kind of songs are there in Sunday? There are songs of every genre in Sunday . There is one typical Indian folk number which is like the kind of music played in Navratri and Bhangra . There is also one romantic number and disco song. In short, every kind of song can be expected from Sunday.
You have a great rapport with Ajay Devgan with him being in all your films. Tell us something about your association and bonding with him. Ajay and I go back a long way as his and my fathers were assistant directors. We started working with each other from Phool Aur Kaante in which I assisted Kuku Kohli and Ajay was launched. Then I assisted Kuku for 7-8 films. My first movie Zamee n was with Ajay and Abhishek Bachchan, followed by Golmaal , and now Sunday . Ajay is like an elder brother to me. I started when I was 17 and we know each other since 16-17 years. The comfort level is great. Since we know and understand each other’s nature both professionally and personally, it becomes very easy for me to work with him as a director.
Ajay is coming up with his own film now. Will you be helping him in any way? Though I would love to but I won’t be able to. Because I will be busy with my own shooting at the same time. Now I have been shooting Sunday and a week after its release I will start shooting for Golmaal Returns , which again stars Ajay Devgan.
Your last film Golmaal was very entertaining and highly appreciated. Do you think Sunday will get an encore? We are trying our level best. In the end, it is for the audience to decide the film’s fate. Otherwise we all would have predicted which movie is going to work and which one is not going to work. As far as work is concerned, I am really working hard for this movie. There are times when I also get nervous because of people’s high expectations after Golmaal , because then people did not think that an action director would be able to pull off a comedy. So that was quite brave of me! To sum it up, I am putting 100% efforts along with which comes nervousness, but in the end the audience is God!
When are planning to release Sunday? Sunday would be releasing in the month of November.
But don’t you miss the action genre? Yes, I do. But Sunday has a lot of action too.
