Dates are my problem: Uday Chopra

In a bid to resurrect his sagging career, Uday Chopra had signed two big films.
A home production opposite Priyanka Chopra and David Dhavan���s Hook Ya Crook, in which he was to play a side-kick to the lead actor John Abraham, a la Dhoom. However, Uday has now opted out of Hook Ya Crook, citing the age-old excuse of date problems.
A source close to the production house said, ���Uday was playing an important role ��� that of a prisoner in the movie.The film takes a twist when John meets the prisoner and befriends him. Uday eventually realised that playing second fiddle in a film after bagging the lead opposite a top heroine like Priyanka Chopra, could harm his career prospects. So, he backed out of the film saying the dates were clashing with his other film.��� David Dhawan confirmed the news and said, ���The film was supposed to begin by December 2008 but got delayed. However, all is fine as I have amazing actors like Aditya Pancholi, Ashutosh Rana and Kay Kay Menon in the film.���
