Remember the dead man act that was immortalized by Satish Shah in Kundan Shah's JAANE BHI DO YAARON more than a couple of decades back?

Shakti Kapoor would be seen doing something similar in upcoming release NEHLLE PE DEHLLA where he plays a dead man. The plot revolves around his character being killed and then the lead protagonists Sanjay Dutt and Saif Ali Khan carrying him with them all through their journey and projecting him as someone alive. This leads to number of hilarious situations that promise to get the house down.

In this debut directorial venture for director Ajay Chandok, Johny [Sanjay Dutt] and Jimmy [Saif Ali Khan] play small time crooks whose only 'sapna' is 'money money'. They function independently to con people only to become a team when they meet in a jail.

Later they pair up with the dead body of Shakti Kapoor, present it as someone alive and roam around the town. Result? Total 'dhamaal'!
