Priyadarshan’s next venture Mere Baap Pehle Aap is a remake of the Malayalam film Ishtam . The film has Akshaye Khanna, Genelia D’souza and Paresh Rawal in lead roles.

The director of the film, Priyadarshan said, “We have taken the plot from a very old Malayalam film. Mere Baap Pehle Aap is a very good family entertainer. It is about the relationship between a father and a son. One can say that the film is a love story between a father and a son. Both want to get each other married off. The son wants to get his father married first as his mother died the day he was born. How and why he wants that, forms the suspense of the film. The full film is made in a comical way.”

Priyadarshan believes that Mere Baap Pehle Aap is not a comedy film. “The film is more of Hrishikesh Mukherjee kind of a film. He never made comedy films. His films also had some meaning and some stories in them. My film also had a good story and everything is in a lighter way.”
