The directors get defensive when debutante Sneha Ullal's looks are compared to Aishwarya Rai.

"Come on!" exclaims Radhika, "No way does she looks like Aishwarya Rai! We wanted a young and fresh face for the film and we got her. She was Salman's choice."

"Sneha is senior to Salman's sister Aprita in college, so we cast her after the screen test. Look at her properly and you will understand we are not trying to take an Aishwarya lookalike in our film," clarifies Vinay.

The duo are confident the film will be a hit as Salman is lucky with romantic films like Maine Pyaar Kiya, Sajjan or Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

Ask them what Salman has not done in this film that he has done in his earlier films, and Radhika quips, "He has not taken off his shirt! The weather in St Petersburg is minus 18. He would have frozen had he done that."

"We were told Salman does not like to shoot in cold climes," says Vinay. "But he was very cooperative and gave us dates in bulk to complete the film."
