Paying Guests is a Bollywood film starring Ashish Chaudhary, Shreyas Talpade, Javed Jaffrey, Vatsal Seth, Celina Jaitly, Neha Dhupia, Riya Sen, Sayali Bhagat and Johnny Lever. It is directed by Paritosh Painter under Subhash Ghai's Mukta Arts banner. It is a comedy film revolving around four close friends who reside together in Pattaya. It borrows the basic plot from the 1966 comedy movie Biwi Aur Makan directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee (which was based on the Bengali movie Joy Maa Kali Boarding) and which was an inspiration for the Marathi movie Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi(1989), Telugu movie Chitram Bhalare Vichitram (1991), two Kannada movies - Bombat Hendthi (1992) and Olu Saar Bari Olu (2003), Tamil movie Aanazhagan (1995), Punjabi Mr & Mrs 420 (2014) and Bengali movie Jio Pagla (2017).
Shooting started in the second week of April 2008. Riya Sen was originally offered Neha Dhupia's role, Aarti Gupta, but declined and instead chose the role as Jayesh's melodramatic girlfriend, Alpita. A sequel, Paying Guests 2, is in production and will take place against the backdrop of a beauty pageant.
