What happens

The Valet (French: La Doublure, lit. 'The Stand-In') is a 2006 French-language comedy film written and directed by Francis Veber and starring Gad Elmaleh, Alice Taglioni, Daniel Auteuil and Kristin Scott Thomas. The film is about a parking valet who is enlisted to pretend to be the lover of a famous fashion model in order to deflect attention from her relationship with a married businessman. The film enjoyed box office success in France and the United States. The Valet was remade as the 2009 Hindi film Do Knot Disturb, which in turn inspired the 2014 Punjabi film Disco Singh and the 2016 Bengali movie Haripad Bandwala. An English-language remake, The Valet, was released on 20 May 2022 by Hulu. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
