The forthcoming comedy ’99- one short of a century’ has a unique combination of Kunal Khemu and Soha Ali Khan. Kunal is playing a young and clever man who wants to hit that century in life and the conflict that he faces to score hundred makes the story. Everyone can identify with him. On the other hand, Soha plays a Delhi girl. Each one (Soha and Kunal) has a pre-conceived notion about the other, which makes the story interesting.

The film also stars Vinod Khanna, Boman Irani, Cyrus Broacha, Mahesh Manjrekar and Simone Singh in pivotal roles.

The film’s title is very strikingly unique and different. Commenting on the title of the film, producer Shastri said, “The film is titled ‘99′ because it is set in the year 1999. Secondly, it also deals with the magical ‘one’ number that turns 99 into hundred.”

The film is budgeted at an whopping Rs.100 million, and will be directed by two America-based Indian directors - Raj Nidimuro and Krishna DK who have earlier directed movies like ‘Shor’ and ‘Flavors’.
