After mutually deciding to annul the marriage, Rahul begins a one-sided attraction for Riana, which threatens to ruin their new friendship.

Inspired by the Woody Allen style of film-making, Ayesha Devitre and Batra worked on the script, with principal photography taking place in Vegas, Los Angeles, Pataudi and Mumbai.

Meanwhile, Riana, who is also unemployed and has not paid her rent, loses her accommodation, and an initially hesitant Rahul lets her stay with him till her problem gets resolved.

Rahul is revealed to be interested in photography, while Riana recounts her ambition to be a ballet dancer, which was destroyed after she broke her ankle in childhood.

As New Year's Eve approaches, Riana plans to visit her family in India and asks Rahul to accompany her.

Two days later, during a family dinner, Rahul angrily divulges the complete truth to his parents, who are in denial, and their business partners, after realising the meaninglessness of his pretense.

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.
