Visibly upbeat after the stupendous success of ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, Badshah of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan is ready to woo audiences with his upcoming film Billu Barber, which is scheduled to release on February 13, 2009.

Produced by SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment, the story of the movie ‘Billo Barber’ is supposed to be based on two childhood friends - a barber and a rich filmstar.

Inspired from the story of Lord Krishna and his best friend Sudama, Billo Barber is reported to be a remake of Malayalam film Katha Parayumbol.

While Shahrukh plays the role of a superstar, while Irrfan Khan will act as a barber, who comes to meet his friend after many years.

Lara essays the role of the wife of barber.

Like ‘Rab Ne…’, the film also focuses on the common man, a cause propagated well with the astounding success of ‘RNDBJ’.

The tag line of the movie is “It is special to be ordinary”, which once again brings back into the public interest the common man, and how he rises above the ordinary to become special, rather, extraordinary!

Directed by Priyadarshan, ‘Billu Barber’ stars Irrfan Khan and Lara Dutta in the lead characters, and Shahrukh Khan in a cameo role of a movie star.

The film also features Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav and Asrani in supporting roles with guest appearances by actresses Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra.
