Ranveer Singh, who won several best debut actor awards last year, plays the title role of Ricky Bahl, a suave conman whose priority is money, not love. To support an extravagant lifestyle, he becomes different personas to con his many girlfriends out of large amounts of cash all over India. He’s a fitness trainer Sunny, to the Delhi student Dimple, played by newcomer Parineeti Chopra. The hardworking young widow in Lucknow, Saira, played by Aditi Sharma, knows him as shy Iqbal Khan. And he is art dealer Deven Shah to the successful Mumbai career woman Raina played by Dipannita Sharma. But all three find out the truth after a random encounter brings them together. They devise an elaborate plan for revenge to get their money back. The unsuspecting Ricky meets his match when the equally charming Ishika Desai, played by Anushka Sharma, arrives to outsmart him.
