Desi Boyz gets posters and a trailer

After the director trying to kill the stars with this helicopter stunt, it seems that the rest of the filming went off without a hitch. In line with most other Bollywood films, a number of posters have been released for the film.
I have managed to find a trailer over on youTube. The film does look very funny - and this is coming form someone who doesn't watch Bollywood films or know the language!

The year is 2009. The world has been struck by the financial meltdown. But Nick Mathur and Jerry Patel don't feel a thing in their comfortable pad in London.

Nick feels smug with his successful investment banking job, the new bonus in his pocket and his beautiful fiancé, Radhika, by his side, while Jerry is so used to scraping the bottom of the barrel and living off his best buddy Nick, that recession feels like home.  But life has a way of pulling the rug from under our feet.

Nick and Jerry stop smiling the day Nick's company decides to downsize and unceremoniously fires him.  And Jerry is informed by the Social Services that his nephew Veer, who is being brought up by Jerry, will be placed in a foster home unless he gets a steady job.

DESI BOYZ is the story of two men who are forced to do something extremely bizarre, which gives them instant gratification, but the repercussions tear them apart. Its aftermath puts everything to a test, including their friendship.

Akshay Kumar & John Abraham’s dangerous chopper stunt for Desi Boyz!

What is it with Bollywood films and wanting to try and kill the lead actors in a film? With Ranbir doing a dangerous motorcycle stunt to Akshay Kumar & John Abraham now dangling off a helicopter without a safety harness!

Akshay and John recently shot a risky stunt for the title track of their forthcoming film, Eros International’s Desi Boyz, directed by Rohit Dhawan.

Rohit Dhawan wanted this particular shot in the title song of the film in which Akshay and John climb down from a moving chopper. However, he was worried for his actors because of the risk involved. Akshay heard about this and immediately wanted to do the shot as he loves action. John too loves action and wanted to give it a try. The helicopter scene required them to do the stunt without a harness, as both of them had to wear whites in the scene and a harness would have been visible in the close-up shots. Despite it being a very risky shot where the actors had to step out of the chopper mid –air with no strapping, both the actors were quite convinced about the shot and insisted on going ahead with it. Director Rohit Dhawan was very nervous about his actors doing something as risky as this but the two actors went ahead and did the shot confidently in a single take.
