It has been a long time since a comedy flick made your sides split, right! Coming to end the drought is Anil Kapoor's production 'Short Kut - The Con Is On'. Shot in the charming locales of Thailand, the movie promises to provide you the correct dose of humor, combined with emotions that will tug at your heartstrings. It has been directed by Neeraj Vora and will be released on 10th July 2009, under the banners 'Anil Kapoor Film Company' and 'Indian Films'.

The music for 'Short Kut' has been provided by Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa, while Javed Akhtar is the lyricist. The star cast of this comedy film includes Akshaye Khanna, Arshad Warsi, Amrita Rao and Chunkey Pandey. The story of 'Short Kut' revolves around the life of two con artists - a struggling director and a wannabe actor. The crazy situations they face in the 'city of glamour and hope' is what forms the basic idea behind the flick.

Shekhar (Akshaye Khanna), an aspiring assistant director, is struggling to make it big in the film industry. Working on the same lines is Chandu (Arshad Warsi), a wannabe junior artiste. While Shekhar is an extremely capable and confident person, Chandu is nothing short of a joker, who thinks himself to be the next superstar-in-the-making. One day, they happen to meet each other and develop a friendly acquaintance.

Shekhar has a prized script in his hand and one fine day, Chandu manages to steal it. Soon, Chandu finds himself on the road to super stardom, all on the basis of Shekhar's script. Hurt and miserable, Shekhar plunges into depression and soon, his wife Mansi (Amrita Rao) also leaves him. Now, Shekhar has only one aim in life - to get even with Chandu. As the film moves ahead, a hilarious fable of con, trickery, fame and the consequent descent comes up.
