New Delhi: Comedian Kapil Sharma is making his much awaited film debut this week with Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. And he is romancing not one but four gorgeous girls in the film. Most debutants would kill to get a role like this to launch their film careers.
Kapil, who is still a bachelor, admitted that he could hardly handle one wife in real life. But, in the film, he has three wives and a girlfriend. It's a problem of plenty and we'll soon find out how Kapil solves it.
Kapil is of course a familiar figure because of his immensely popular TV show, Comedy Nights with Kapil, but how well do you know his love interests in the film?
Here's some inside dope on the sizzling quartet!
Elli Avram
This stunning Greek-Swedish actress fell in love with Bollywood after she watched 'Devdas' on television at the age of 14. She made her film debut in Sweden in 2008 at the age of 18 before packing her bags and moving to Mumbai four years later.
Elli was first noticed in a commercial for Eveready Batteries but it was her appearance on Bigg Boss 7 in 2013 that made her a recognised face. She was eventually evicted from the Bigg Boss house after 70 days but it was quite evident that host Salman Khan had a soft corner for her.
She landed the female lead in the Hindi film Mickey Virus the same year despite knowing no Hindi at the time. Elli returned to the small screen last year to shake a leg in a couple of episodes of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa and is now keen to do a dance film with Tiger Shroff!
Simran Kaur Mundi
A Punjabi kudi from Hoshiarpur, Simran made a huge splash in 2008 by winning the Miss India title. She was flooded with modelling assignments before her Hindi film debut eventually arrived in 2011 in Jo Hum Chahein. She then made waves in sporting circles by anchoring the first edition of the Hockey India League in 2013.
Simran has also acted in films in Punjabi and Telugu, besides a second Hindi film in 2014, 'Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi', which she accepted after just hearing the title!
Her love life has also made headlines as she is reportedly dating Gurickk Maan, son of famous Punjabi singer Gurdaas Maan. But KKPK is undoubtedly her biggest break so far. The 27-year-old will be hoping that the film gives her a firm foothold in Bollywood.

Manjari Phadnis
Manjari may be just 31 but she is a veteran in films compared to her co-stars. The Maharashtrian beauty made her Bollywood debut way back in 2004 in the sports drama, Rok Sako to Rok Lo starring Sunny Deol.
She has appeared in films in a whopping seven different languages (Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada). Apart from her linguistic skills, she is also a talented singer and was a finalist on the Channel V show, Popstars.
Her best known role was in the 2008 romantic comedy Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, starring Imran Khan and Genelia d'Souza. Manjari was left out of the posters and promos because she was the surprise element in the film. She deservedly went on to win the Stardust Award for Breakthrough Performance – Female for her role.
Sai Lokur
Hailing from Belgaum in Karnataka, Sai is well known in the Marathi film industry but this is her Hindi film debut. Or, rather, her Hindi film debut as an adult to be precise, since she appeared as a child artist in the Fardeen Khan starrer Kuch Tum Kaho Kuch Hum Kahein when she was in the 7th standard.
The 26-year-old is the daughter of Marathi film director Veena Lokur. In fact Veena directed Sai in the film Platform where she showcased her versatility, playing an 18-year-old in the first half and a 38-year-old in the second half.
Sai reportedly met the directors Abbas-Mustan through a common friend while they were casting for KKPK. The directors liked her and she was in. Hopefully, the audiences will like her just as much.
