The curvaceous sexy siren Payal Rohtagi, who rose to limelight with her hot performances and is extremely popular for her bombastic acts on screen is back on track with Men Not Allowed under the banner of Shri Vardan Pictures Pvt Ltd. Co-produced by Sundeep Aggrawal and Rupesh Aggrawal, the flick is written and directed by Shrey Shrivastav.

Featuring Payal Rohtagi, Tina Majumdar, Aryan Vaid and Tarun Arora in pivotal roles, Men Not Allowed reveals the story of two girls from different walks of life. Both are deceived, tortured, tormented and disillusioned by the men fraternity. They meet and fall in love with each other while hating men in their lives.

Tanya (Payal Rohtagi), the daughter of a business mogul Karan Sharma lost her mother when she was a child. Brought  up in high society, Tanya has seen many men-women relationships. Her father is a womanizer and has never cared for her. She and her father together run an advertising agency. Tanya loves Shekhar (Aryan Vaid) and plans to marry him soon. One day she finds Shekhar in bed with another girl and her dreams of a happy life is shattered. She now decides never to marry and occupies herself with the day to today activities. Soon she meets an aspiring model Urmila (Tina Majumdar). Tanya's ad agency selects Urmila for an ad campaign but she is unable to do it. The two get so close to each other that Urmila utters her dark past to Tanya. Her father was a drug supplier and got arrested. Later he died in the prison. Her mother too was a drug addict and died in the hospital. After the demise of her parents, she was handed over to her uncle who tried to molest her. However, Urmila somehow managed to escape and reached the police station where a lady inspector took her to an orphanage. At the orphanage her life became a hell and she began to hate men. Listening to her sad story, Tanya consoles Urmila and sympathises with her. She helps her to come out of the emotional turmoil and with her help, Urmila becomes a celebrity. They end up becoming good friends and share some beautiful moments.

Vikram (Tarun Arora) is a well-known celebrity and a top model. This determined guy wants to marry Tanya.  Karan (Tanya's father) happens to know about the relationship between Tanya and Urmila  and asks Vikram to make Urmila love him. This would prompt Tanya to marry him out of sheer jealousy. Tanya and Urmila get married and start living separately with their husbands but their marriages are entirely based on revenge and do not work out. This situation leads them to realize each other's importance and both leave their hubbies and again start living together where 'Men Are Not Allowed'.
