Mehra, who has produced the movie starring Om Puri, Shreyas Talpade and Deepak Dobrial, says is very rooted in its Indianness.
'Teen Thay Bhai' is 'desi' not just for the sake of it. It was the requirement of the subject that we bring in 'desi' elements in the film's screenplay. If there was an urban set of brothers then the story wouldn't have worked and the film would have fallen apart," says Mehra, who handed over the reins of direction to first timer Mrigdeep Singh Lamba.
The film is about three brothers who are distanced by life and brought together by a clause in their Grandfather's will at an isolated snowed-out cabin. How they battle love and life forms the crux of 'Teen Thay Bhai'.
There is no item song to add glamour in the movie, which revolves around the antics of the three brother and Mehra admits that they went by instinct when it came to picking up the cast.
"We actually went by instinct when it came to casting. Of course there was a process behind it all but there was no conscious call. We did keep in mind that the three actors had to look compatible," he adds.
Once the principal cast was put together, there were workshops conducted to ensure that Puri, Talpade and Dobriyal became familiar with each other.
