In Priyadarshan’s Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal there is a love triangle between Om Puri (David), Paresh Rawal (Peter) and Sona Nair (Maria). The love triangle was apparently Priyan’s idea, wherein best friends, David and Peter, fall for the same woman, Maria, and how it strains their friendship. About playing a romantic, Paresh said, “I’m young, aren’t I? Priyan felt the need to create the romance track for me. And believe me when I say that age has nothing to do with romance. It’s all in the heart.” Om Puri, who plays Shreyas Talpade’s father, said, “Playing the role of a disappointed father instigated the actor in me.” Sona, who has two men running after her in the film, said, “The sepia-toned moments have been captured with some heavy duty humour. The retro effect was a memorable experience for me.
