This will be my most uncharacteristic film, very different from the comedies I am associated with. John Abraham and Uday Chopra will come together again after Dhoom. And Aditya Pancholi has a very important role. The audience will love him.���
The film, Hook Ya Crook, is hugely inspired from the 1981 Hollywood film, Escape To Victory, which featured football star Pele. The film was about a group of prisoners escaping from a World War II prison camp while playing a football match. Writer Rensil D���Silva has adapted the film for an Indian audience.
While the prison set is currently being built by art director Samir Chanda in Hyderabad, all the actors have been asked to brush up on their high-school cricket.
