Genelia DSouza gets Her Dream Hero

Think of a girl who is a die hard fan of a bollywood actor. Further think that she gets an opportunity to play a role opposite her dream hero. How this situation will be? Same is the case with Genelia D Souza.

Bollywood Actress Genelia D Souza has been a die hard fan of actor John Abraham for a while now. And it is almost like a dream come true for her when she found herself sharing screen space with him in her next film, Hook Ya Crook.

This is a crush which probably dates back to Genelia's college days when John attended the college fete. The actress, who shot into prominence after the success of Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, is also working with actors like fardeen Khan and Harman Baweja in films like It's My Life and Life Partner. The actress is currently being offered a lot of roles which have her cast in girl next door mould. But she has no problems with that right now. She is open to challenges and even open to doing an all out commercial film or even action movies. Despite not having become an overnight sensation like her co star Imran Khan, Genelia, like her name, is quite genial and is quite happy finding her feet in Bollywood.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and John Abraham in Hook Ya Crook

Director, David Dhawan is going to opt a U-turn from his genre of comedies and has decided to direct a serious movie titled Hook Ya Crook. The movie stars John Abraham and Indian Cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Hook Ya Crook is an Indianised version of the famous 1981 hit Escape to Victory which was penned by Rensil D’ Silva. Escape to Victory focussed on a football match and featured the football legend Pele.

Hook Ya Crook revolves around Cricket. The prison set is currently being built by art director Samir Chanda in Hyderabad. ‘Hook Ya Crook’ features a big cricket match as the climax. Dhoni is playing a leading role in the film.

Sources reveal, “UTV, who had earlier made Goal, a football-based film, want Hook Ya Crook to be an authentic cricket film. The climax will be a huge cricket match like Ashutosh Gowariker’s Lagaan. Indian cricket captain Dhoni is being brought on board to share the field and cinema space with the rest of the cast and also to help his teammates give a believable spin to the game.”
According to the director of the film David Dhawan, “Cricket does play a very important part in my film. This would be my most uncharacteristic film, very different from the comedies I am associated with”.
