About the director –
Deepak Tijori doesn't require an introduction really. And yet he needs to be introduced to the realm of new-age directors. Meet Deepak Tijori, the shy friend of AASHIQUI, KHILADI and SADAK, the been-there-done-that chap of JO JEETA WOHI SIKANDER, the sincere hubby of ANJAAM, the goody-goody cop of VAASTAV and so forth… Deepak has been in front of the camera for quite a while now.
But he must have watched his directors with enough inquisitiveness to be on the other side of the camera. His long arduous years of training as an actor and later as a producer (TV serials) helped him realise his dream – OOPS!.
The synopsis –
Dreams in their eyes, ambition in their actions, fervour for life… and they are still lesser than the stars! Here's a film based on those starry-eyed stars who dance around the starlets with as much zeal, and yet go unnoticed.
Jahaan, Aakash and Nikki share a passion – dancing – and take up the profession as background dancers in films. Jahaan is a lower middle class guy living with his dipsomaniac father and aspires to be rich and powerful. Aakash is a rich heir and a dancer by choice. Nikki is a middle class girl in love with Jahaan, but is not sure about the way Jahaan's fundas of life work.
The three are busy performing as dancers in films and corporate shows till a very lucrative proposal comes their way from a film star – Sonia. She invites Jahaan to perform a strip show. Yearning to be rich and not wither out as a mere dancer, Jahaan instantly takes up the offer to be a male stripper. After a little cajoling, Aakash agrees to accompany Jahaan and both perform their first-ever strip show despite Nikki's discomfort.
Aakash opts out of doing more strip shows, Nikki is disillusioned by the way Jahaan has started behaving and Jahaan is crazily in love with his image as casanova.
And this is where the journey to stardom begins for Jahaan… In his want and greed to be with the people of power and position in society, Jahaan and the rest land up in a situation which is OOPS!.
