Ladies vs Ricky Bahl is an upcoming Bollywood romantic comedy film directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. It will star Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma in lead roles and marks the debut of Priyanka Chopra's cousin, Parineeti Chopra.The pair will be seen together, once again, after their last hit together Band Baaja Baraat. The film is set to release on December 9, 2011. It is inspired by John Tucker Must Die.


The film started shooting early April with plans to be in theatres worldwide on 9 December 2011, the same weekend Anushka Sharma's films Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Band Baaja Baaraat released.

During the shoot of the scooter sequence, Ranveer burnt his foot when the scooter skid on some gravel and fell on him. A doctor was called on set immediately but Ranveer kept shooting and ensured that the schedule was not delayed.

During one of the shots on the jet ski, a big wave hit Ranveer and Anushka and flung them in different directions in the middle of the sea. Yet both of them braved 20-foot waves, despite the jet ski being capsized and gave the perfect shot.

Maneesh Sharma, the director of the film, decided to add boats against the beach in one of the shots to make it more interesting - this last minute addition made for a perfect shot and the boats became an integral part of a decisive scene in the movie that involves the entire cast.

While shooting in Lucknow, the entire Imambara area had to be cordoned off. Massive crowds appeared to watch Ranveer Singh shoot and kept calling him “Bitoo! Bitoo aa gayaa!” Rambo was a clear favorite and worked the crowd very well by obliging fans with waves, hugs and pictures! After pack up, the entire cast feasted at Lucknow’s famous "Tunda Kababi."

Anushka Sharma was a pro scooter rider (she has previously also driven a scooter with aplomb in ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’) during an important scene, she drove with the DOP (who was holding an extremely heavy camera) sitting behind her. Her astute driving sense, allowed him to shoot a rear view mirror from the bike quickly and efficiently.
