Salman KhanGovinda recently announced that he would quit working in comedy films. But his mentor, director David Dhawan, whose films like Raja Babu, Coolie No 1, and Hero No 1 have featured Govinda, has no such plan. "I am not tired of making comedy films," said Dhawan. "It is a way of life."

So, Dhawan recently launched Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, a comic love triangle starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra.

His cast is backing him on his venture as well. "I loved the script and said yes to the role immediately," Salman Khan said.

Madonna: just like a momma

Like in his latest hit Tere Naam, Khan has a new hairstyle for this film. He has gone in for hair-weaving. "The role demanded this look," Khan explained, "so I am adopting this hairstyle. I only hope everyone loves it just like they loved my look in Tere Naam."

Referring to the success of Tere Naam, he admitted, "I never expected the film will do this well at the box office."

Akshay Kumar clad in a brown suit seemed to be in high spirits after the success of Andaaz, his latest film. He pointed out that he has slowly eased into comedy from his earlier action films. "I am comfortable now," he said. "I think we all did a good job in [Priyadarsan's] Hera Pheri [co-starring Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty]. I have no problems acting in a comedy film."

The two actors refused to speak much about their roles, saying it is a secret.

All David Dhawan would say was that both Akshay and Salman are in love with Priyanka. They want to marry her and have a simple question for her, Mujhse shaadi karogi? And that is the title of the film.
