New Delhi, Feb 23 (ANI): The cast of upcoming Bollywood romantic thriller "Karthik calling Karthik" promoted their film here on Monday.

'Karthik calling Karthik', directed by Vijay Lalwani, is a romantic thriller that revolves around an introvert, Karthik.

The music of the film is composed by Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy. The lyrics have been penned by Javed Akhtar.

Shankar Mahadevan said that the movie had a lot of western music.

Deepika Padukone, who plays the lead character of Shonali in the film, shared her views about her new look.

"Well the new look is a part of Shonali's character, Shonali has a character, she is very outgoing, very confident, she is independent, she is like the girl of today, and I think the haircut really complements that. Today if I heard of a girl called Shonali and if I heard with these characteristics, I would definitely imagine her with short hair," she said.

Karthik, played by singer-actor Farhan Akhtar, is a very sad and frustrated individual who has lots of emotional issues. How his life changes when he starts getting calls from a person by the same name forms the premise of the film.

And during the course of the film, it will unfold what these calls are all about and what's the price Karthik has to pay for these calls.

The film also features Ram Kapoor and Shefali Shah.

The film is slated for a February 26 release. (ANI)
