But then the recession starts to bite, Nick finds himself abruptly downsized, and social services threaten to place Veer in a foster home. When they see no hope left, opens a door to the most popular strip-club in town, "Desi Boyz", whose owner (Sanjay Dutt) picks Rocco and Hunter as sexy pole-dancers.
