Tumsa Nahin Dekha is a new offering by Bhatt's camp after the blockbuster, Murder. A flop Saaya and then a superhit Murder to his credit so far as a director, Anurag Bose now directs his third enterprise Tumsa Nahin Dekha with the Bhatts. Saregama Films injects its share in production department along with Mukesh Bhatt for this venture. He first tried his hands on supernatural thriller and then on a lustful love tale, now Bose eyes on the family audience by making a film based on conventional love story.

Enjoying a success downpour with his last mega hit MURDER opposite with steamy-dusky Mallika Shrewat, Emraan Hashmi pairs up with the beauty queen Diya Mirza at this upcoming juncture Tumsa Nahin Dekha.

One needs money to be rich but one also needs love to be happy in life. This is what, Tumsa Nahin Dekha has in store for its viewers.

Daksh Mittal (Emraan Hashmi) is a handsome witty guy. This charming millionaire drinks heavily. Once he happens to meet a working class girl, Jia (Diya Mirza) on a road and falls in love with her. Later the reality unzips itself before Daksh that Jia is actually a striptease dancer. A twist in the tale takes place when Anhaita Madhwani (Pooja Bharti) enters the scene. Daksh is scheduled to marry this properly pedigreed society girl whom he detests much. Now he has two options - one to marry Anhaita - and the other is to go to his love Jia. But if he does not tie the knot with Anhaita, he will not inherit the million-dollar trust. Confused with the all the happenings with him, he seeks help with John uncle (Anupam Kher) who stage-manages a situation to solve his mental problem.

The movie also features Sharat Saxena, Suresh Sikri, Uday Tikekar, Atul Parchure and Sandeep Sharma. Subodh Chopra has penned the narrative whereas the popular melodies master duo of Nadeem-Shravan has scored the tunes for the album. Sameer has handled the writing desk.
