there is no problem in NO PROBLEM

Once Anees Bazmee was asked on the sets of NO PROBLEM, what Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor think about each other while doing a scene together?Anees replied quickly, "Dono ek dusre ko dekh kar sochte honge — yeh itna bada star kaise ban gaya!"

Akshaye Khanna is a big foodie and the most fussy eater. He gets the most amazing food from his house on sets — the specialties being the Patra ni Machi and Dhan Daal... all the artistes of NO PROBLEM would faithfully wait for these delicacies from Akshaye's house and pounce on the dabba... often leaving the poor guy with nothing for himself.

Anil Kapoor eats without eating. It's been a habit to say 'No' to food always but to eat from other people's plates and drink up others' low cal soft drinks... this is his USP to maintain himself.

When shooting the Mast Punjabi song over a week in Mumbai — the set cost went upto 1.25 crore for a daily crowd of 500, plus 100 dancers (Vaibhavi was the choreographer), a crew of 250 including 29 key artistes, 19 vanity vans and costumes worth Rs 40 lakhs. A team of sardars from Ludhiana were requisitioned to tie the turbans authentically for the key cast and extras. Finally, Mast Punjabi cost Rs 3.5 crore!

Sanjay Dutt and Paresh Rawal were working together as a team after a real long time — and spent time reliving memories of filming for Mahesh Bhatt's NAAM — during which, in Hong Kong, they shared the same hotel room!

Kangana, who specialises in dark, hard-hitting cinema, proved in NO PROBLEM that she can score in formula commercial films... she is a bundle of talent, a fab artiste, but she calls a spade a spade.

Sanjay Dutt was approached by Anees Bazmee for NO PROBLEM in Krabi Island ( Thailand) where he was shooting for BLUE. Anees narrated the story to him at mid-sea on his private yacht and in 10 minutes Dutt said, "Done!"

He then made some fabulous barbeque on the yacht and held a gala dinner for everyone at a fine dining beach restaurant to celebrate working with Anees Bazmee.
