OM SHANTI OM inspired by the Hollywood movie “Chances Are”, “Om Shanti Om” deals with that old favourite theme – reincarnation.

Farah’s film revolves around Om (Shah Rukh Khan), a struggling actor in 1977. He is a big fan of Shanti (Deepika Padukone), a superstar. Om gets to meet Shanti while doing titbit roles and he falls head over heels in love with her.

Om is so much in love with her that he is ready to give up all his dreams. And Shanti, who has been waiting for true love and wants to be a girl next door, is ready to give up everything she had.

But before the two can embark on a new journey, Om meets an unfortunate accident and dies.

For some love stories one life is not enough – Om is immediately reincarnated and the story fast forwards to present day.

Haunted by memories of his past life and his true love, Om attempts to solve the mystery of his death, and also reunite with Shanti, the love of his past life.

The supporting cast of the film includes Arjun Rampal and Shreyas Talpade.
