Sahani plays a Christian character called Uncle Joseph Periera in the film while theatre actress Mahabanoo Modi Kotwal (The Vagina Monologues) plays his wife's role.
Parikshit plays a lazy guy and, unlike most people who eat to live, he lives only to eat.
This is the first time that the actor will be seen in a comic role.
"He was taken aback when we asked him to put on weight, he jokingly said, nowadays actors lose weight, and at this age if I gain weight, it could be dangerous.
