Production :
Pre-production work on Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu began in 2010 when Karan Johar announced his plans of making a new project with debutant Shakun Batra. Following the success of their previous collaboration I Hate Luv Storys (2010), Khan was contracted by Johar to play the male lead. In an attempt to sign in an actress who had never worked with Khan before, Kapoor was confirmed to play the female lead several days later. She had to cut her hair short and sport red streaks for her role. On casting Khan and Kapoor, Johar commented, “They could get their real life personality onto the film. Imran is meant to be this very perfectionist young man. So while he is a very stuffy kind of a character, he is also very focused and doesn’t let himself go. On the other hand Kareena plays this woman who is like a modern version of Geet from Jab We Met.”
Batra mentioned, “It’s a slice of life film, driven by characters. The plot is not primary, emotions of the characters are at the forefront. It is set on two weeks of the life of two characters, played by Imran and Kareena.”[15] On the other hand, Johar said it was inspired by the Woody Allen style of film-making. He added that there would be “lot more conversation happening here” and there would be “these walk-talk sequences where it is just you and the camera in motion.”
Film Shooting commenced in November 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada after Khan had completed working on Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and later continued in Los Angeles. After completing the film’s first schedule, the crew shifted to shoot in Pataudi, in the Indian state of Haryana, followed by Mumbai. As photography Started in Vegas, media sources began to report that it could be an adaptation of the American romantic comedy, What Happens in Vegas (2008). Johar, however, went on to deny these reports, claiming that, if he wanted to remake the film, he would have bought the rights to it. Originally referred to as Short Term Shaadi, the title and first look was launched by Johar in August 2011 via Twitter. According to him, “Short Term Shaadi was just a working title that attached itself to this film through the making. Neither the director nor I were happy with it from the start.” The name Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu was derived from a song from the Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh starrer Khel Khel Mein (1975).
On deciding to set the stot in Vegas, Batra said that “the character of the place is very well defined and we need to show it as Las Vegas. It can’t be shown as any other city. Since most films are not set there, it gets difficult. In case of Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, our film is set in Las Vegas and Mumbai.” As filming took place during the winter in Vegas, the production team shot for double shifts to be cost effective.
Release :
The film released worldwide on 10 February 2012, coinciding with Valentine’s Day celebrations. Upon release, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu received positive reviews and was a moderate box office success.
The trailers of Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu faced trouble with the censor board before release. Initially, the word “sex” was objected to by the board and asked to be removed. Later, a scene depicting Kapoor pinching Khan’s buttocks was considered inappropriate for television promos and had to be removed.
