Trivia:

Sudhir Mishra was planning a film in 2003 titled "Who's Speaking". The basis was an event of a phone call. It is then that the entire situation gets out of hand. There are three main characters in the film-two male, 1 female. He had signed Irrfan and was going to approach Ajay Devgan. The film may have been a remake of Phone Booth which Irrfan did in Knock Out (2010). See more »
