The comedy-guru Paresh Rawal and the classic-actor Naseeruddin Shah will soon be seen sharing space on-screen. Their movie 'Maharathi' is all set for a release this Friday - 5th December 2008. It has been directed by Shivam Nair and will come out under the banner of 'Shri Ashtavinayak Cine Visions'. The movie starts with Subhash (Paresh Rawal), a con-man who is struggling in the Film Industry for the past 10 years. Committing small time cons on unsuspecting victims, he makes his ends meet.
One night, putting his own life at risk, Subhash saves Mr. Adenwalla (Nasserudin Shah), a man who is filthy rich. As he accompanies Adenwalla to his home, he comes to know of the latter's wealth and starts expecting a generous tip. Instead, he is kept by Adenwalla as his driver. Mallika Adenwalla (Neha Dhupia), Mr. Adenwalla's wife, senses that Subhash is trying to take advantage of her husband and resents him for his proximity with the latter. Soon enough, Subhash comes to know of Mallika's evil plans, against her husband.
Mr Adenwalla, on the other hand, is sick of his greedy wife and decides to put her in a no-win situation, taking revenge. Ungrateful Subhash decides to deceit his employer and joins hands with Mallika, to acquire money and property. Their plan involves getting a caretaker (Tara Sharma) with the help of their family lawyer (Boman Irani). Tara is intended to serve as a witness to the presence of a sick Mr. Adenwalla, in the house. As things go awry, ACP Gokhale (Om Puri) and Inspector Borkar (Vivek Shauq) enter the picture. How Subhash gets caught, but still manages to save himself, forms the crux of the story.
