Synopsis:

A talented actor stuck on a New York City children's TV show where he portrays a hapless bunny, Will is sulking, thinking everyone has forgotten his birthday. But after his stolen car gets involved in an accident that leads everyone to believe he is dead, Will decides to attend his own funeral to find out what everyone truly thinks of him. With the aid of his best friend Rad, an Indian restaurant-owner, he becomes Vijay Singh, a handsome Sikh. Surprisingly, Will's wife Julia takes a romantic interest in Vijay and protected by his disguise, Will ends up courting her. As Vijay, Will learns some embarrassing truths about himself and confronts a problem: he likes Vijay more than himself. And so does everyone else.

Wilhelm Wilder (Will) is a talented actor stuck on a New York City children's TV show where he portrays Bad Luck Bunny, a hapless green rabbit. Feeling a failure, he bears his fate with touching self-irony, but grows sulky and petulant when he thinks that his wife, daughter and all his friends have forgotten his 40th birthday. In the confusion following a road accident, all the world believes he is dead. Instead of rectifying the situation, he decides to fulfill a fantasy and attend his own funeral. Here he will learn what everyone really thinks of him. With the aid of his best friend Rad, an Indian restaurant-owner, Will becomes Vijay Singh, a handsome and gentlemanly Sikh, complete with turban and beard. On this memorable occasion and in the days that follow, Vijay is surprised to learn some embarrassing truths about Will. And on top of it, his newly-widowed, beautiful wife Julia takes an unseemly, romantic interest in this elegant, sexy stranger. Will confronts a unique problem: everyone likes Vijay, and most of all, he likes Vijay, more than he ever liked himself.
