Hriday Shetty’s Pyar Mein Twist, released on September 2, 2005, was the last time Rishi Kapoor came together with Dimple Kapadia. They even danced together to Rishi’s hit song Khullam Khulla Pyar Karenge from Khel Khel Mein (1975) which had nothing to do with Dimple. But we will let that slide.
In a throwback interview, director Hriday Shetty, who is Rohit Shetty’s stepbrother couldn’t contain his excitement. “Rishi and Dimple have come together in only three films in 33 years – Bobby, then Sagar and now my film. They are the only couple in the world to have played the romantic lead in every film that they've done together. They're so energetic, so full of life that they energised the entire team. Pyar Mein Twist would've been impossible without Rishi and Dimple.”

Sammir Dattani and Soha Ali Khan also featured in the film that Shetty claims isn't your average run-of-the-Mills and Boon love story. "It's about two people rediscovering the pleasures of love and togetherness in old age… and please don't compare it with Basu Chatterjee's Khatta Meetha. Khatta Meetha had Ashok Kumar and Pearl Padamsee getting married for the convenience of their respective children. In my film, Rishi Kapoor and Dimple come together for only one reason – love."
He added, "Why must love only be linked to the very young? Why are father and grandfather expected to take the kids to school and watch saas-bahu (mother-in-law-daughter-in-law) soaps on TV? Why can’t they have the right to fall in love? That’s what Rishi and Dimple do in Pyar Mein Twist.”
Hriday insisted, “Pyar Mein Twist isn't inspired by any other film. When I made my first film Plan, I was associated with Sanjay Gupta who makes a certain kind of rugged slick cinema. Pyar Mein Twist shows my versatility. I want to always direct films that would take me from genre to genre."
