The film directed by trendsetter Rajkumar Santoshi, stars Shahid Kapoor and Ileana D’cruz in lead roles.

A clear case of mistaken identity, Phata Poster Nikla Hero unfolds the story of Vishwas Rao (Shahid Kapoor) whose mother (Padmini Kolhapure) wishes to see her son become an honest police inspector. Vishwas on the other hands dreams to be a flamboyant filmy hero. His life takes a dramatic turn when a local social worker Kajal (Ileana D’Cruz) mistakenly assumes and reaches out to Vishwas who is dressed like a police officer for a filmy photoshoot. So as to impress her, Vishwas eventually plays along and further engulfing him into a hilarious cat and mouse game.
Will Vishwas ever admit the truth? Will he ever confine his real dreams to his mother? Will Kajal accept him for who he is?
