ACP Rajvir Randhva
Ajay Devgan is ACP Rajvir Randhva. He is the brave, bad cop, who loves his ice cream cones as much as he loves chasing criminals. But what he loves most is letting them off for a hefty bribe! Then suddenly Rajvir finds himself embroiled in a murder mystery where the prime suspect is none other than his fiancée – Seher!

Arshad Warsi is Ballu. His red Ambassador taxi is just like him – bright, optimistic and full of beans.

What does bug him is when the girl disappears without paying him his fare.
Kumar
Irfan Khan is Kumar, Ballu’s bum chum and budding actor. He can play lawyers, Ravan, Dracula, don at the drop of a hat, but when he meets a girl who claims she’s a dead woman, he drops all his acts and scoots like hell.

Story
A dead body found floating in a lake… Unexplained scratch marks on her neck… Supari killers out to kill her… A taxi driver who yells ‘bhoot, bhoot’ every time he sees her… Seher (Ayesha Takia) is at first amused, then mystified and then terrified when she realizes she has a connection with all these totally unconnected incidents. But she cannot remember anything. Her fiancée ACP Rajvir Randhva (Ajay Devgan) is convinced that Seher is innocent, but he is equally sure that she is linked to everything. But she cannot remember a thing. Then another dead body is found, and the bracelet found near the corpse belongs to Seher. The evidence is mounting and all fingers point at Seher. And still, Seher does not remember anything. Is Seher really innocent as she claims to be? A dubbing artiste by day, is she also a serial killer by night? Is her bubbly charm but a mask that hides her darker menacing evil? As Seher desperately fights the fog that clouds her treacherous memory, ACP Rajvir has to fight the fact that the woman he wants to marry may well be a murderer and worse… What if one day went missing from your life?

Trivia
- The movie is said to be inspired by a Telugu movie Anukokunda Oka Roju.
- Due to rain in Mumbai at the time of shooting, they had to shift a song shooting to Hyderabad. The song itself had a set cost of 8 millions and shifting 600 crew members and dancers to Hyderabad cost big time.
- Ayesha Takia plays a dubbing artist for cartoon characters in the film. For her voice modulation she was trained by Vikas Kadam, who apparently trained Tusshar Kapoor for Golmaal . Tusshar played 'dumb' in the film and his performance was highly appreciated. With so many animated films being made in India these days, Ayesha sure has an alternative career thanks to this training workshop.
- It's well known among circles that Ajay Devgan is indeed a brilliant cook and that cooking is quite stress buster for the actor. It was when the Sunday team was shooting in Chandni Chowk, Delhi that temperatures were soaring – all of 47 degrees - and Ajay was at his experimental best. He wanted to learn if the heat was enough to make an omlette. He organized for an egg, but at the end of it all, all he managed was a half fry. This did attract crowds who were intrigued by Devgan's curiosity levels and kitchen know-how as much as they were by his acting talents.
- According to Ayesha Takia, this is her first Commercial film where she is doing a Performace Oriented Role. She said in an interview, "I have a fabulous role in Sunday with plenty of scope to perform".
- Actor Arshad Warsi will be seen in a different light in this film. We hear, that the natural actor-dancer got so excited when he heard that he had to do an action sequence that he went beserk practicing for it. Apparently, Arshad was at it since 9 am to 12 midnight. Now that's what we call action round the clock.
- The movie has two item numbers, One is Kashmakash picturised on Esha Deol which is sung by Shibani Kashyap and the other one on Tusshar Kapoor sung by Raghav Sachar. The cost of both the songs are said to be around 3.25 crore.
- It's become a fad these days to have multiple music directors work for one film, and director Rohit Shetty roped in as many as five music directors for Sunday – Sandeep Chowta, Raghav Sachar, Shibani Kashyap, Daler Mehndi and Suroor. "Different songs require different ingredients and skills, which are best brought together by different people. Every song required something unique, and that's the reason we roped in five music directors," says Rohit.
- Two music videos has been shot, one with Pakistani band Suroor along with Ajay Devgan and Ayesha Takia on the song Pyar To Hona Hi hain and the other one with Shibani Kashyap on the remix version of Kashmakash.
