What's it about: Set in Bollywood, Short Kut The Con is On tells the story of two strugglers, one who makes it big as a Superstar Raju (Arshad Warsi) after stealing a script, and the other whose struggle as a director Shekhar (Akshaye Khanna) continues after his script gets stolen.

Things get really interesting when reigning actress Mansi's (Amrita Rao) romantic involvement with Shekhar gets culminated into a marriage while her professional interactions with Raju begin.

To add to the chaos, destiny again brings Raju and Shekhar face to face, when Shekhar is set to direct his first film, with Superstar Raju.
