Add to a movie listFatso! is a 2012 Indian film directed by Rajat Kapoor starring Ranvir Shorey, Gul Panag, Purab Kohli, Neil Bhoopalam, Gunjan Bakshi, with a key role played by veteran comic character actor Brijendra Kala. The film is produced by Pritish Nandy and Fauzia Arshi. The movie was released on 4 May 2012 under Pritish Nandy Communications and Daily Multimedia Limited (Fauzia Arshi) banner.
This 2012 Hindi film's central storyline closely resembles the Hollywood films Heaven Can Wait (1978) and Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), both of which were in turn based on a Broadway stageplay from the 1930s — by the noted playwright Harry Segall — also entitled Heaven Can Wait.
Synopsis
The story is based on five friends: two young couples Nandini (Gul Panag) and Navin (Purab Kohli), Yash (Neil Bhoopalam) and (Gunjan Bakshi), plus their mutual buddy, the hugely overweight Sudeep (Ranvir Shorey). Nandini and Navin are about to get married when disaster strikes. On their way home from Navin's bachelor party, the three boys — Navin, Yash, and Sudeep — are involved in a car crash where one of them is killed. An angel named Vijay (Brijendra Kala) escorts Navin to heaven. But when Navin wakes up in heaven, he discovers to his horror that through a clerical error Vijay had collected the wrong soul from the accident site: it was Sudeep, not Navin, who was destined to have died in the car crash! Navin makes a scene in the overcrowded waiting room of heaven and demands that he be returned to earth, and to his loved ones. But by this time Navin's body back on earth has already been destroyed. So the angel Vijay arranges for Navin's soul to return to earth into Sudeep's body. This film is about how Navin (Purab Kohli) returns to earth and has to woo his beloved fiancée Nandini all over again ... now trapped in the body of "Fatso" Sudeep (Ranvir Shorey).Actors

Raghu Romeo (Vijay Raaz) is a guileless man, who hails from a lower-middle-class family. He is a 30-year-old waiter henpecked by his mother and by the boss who seldom pays him. In his naivete, Raghu thinks he must protect the virtue of that joint's floozies from grabby clients, especially Sweety (Sadiya Siddiqui), a hitman's honey whose cynical surface masks a soft spot for the clueless hero. But he only has eyes for Neeta, a quintessential TV-soap suffering-heroine played by not-so-nice Reshma (Maria Goretti). Unable to distinguish between reel and real life, Raghu kidnaps the terrified actress and takes her to the countryside house of Sweety. Turns out she is on the hit-list (for failing to pay off the entertainment industry's mob "protectors").
