Katrina
Kaif
insists
she
did
the
relatively
minuscule
role
in
De
Dana
Dan
for
Akshay
who
quips,
“Well,
if
she
insists
she
did
it
for
me
then
what
can
I
say,
except,
'Thank
you,
Katrinaji." This
isn"t
a
typical
romantic
film
featuring
Katrina
and
me.
We
don"t
sing
and
walk
into
the
sunset.
I"m
crazy
about
Katrina
in
De
Dana
Dan.
But
I
don"t
have
the
money
to
impress
and
win
her.
In
real
life
I"d
never
take
to
crime
to
win
a
girl.
In
this
film
I
do.
But
it"s
a
goofy
crime."
After
De
Dana
Dan
Akshay
has
almost
completed
another
film
Khatta
Meetha
with
Priyadarshan
co-starring
a
new
girl
Trisha.
Is
Trisha
going
to
be
the
new
hit
jodi-maker
with
Akshay
after
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Katrina
Kaif?
Laughs
Akshay,
“I
hope
she"s
a
hit.
Like
Katrina,
Trisha
knew
no
Hindi
when
she
started
working
with
us.
But
Katrina
had
the
drive
and
willpower.
I
can
see
the
same
qualities
in
Trisha.
I
think
she"s
managing
the
Hindi
pretty
well.
Waqt
sab
kuch
sikha
dekha
deta
hai."
Akshay
is
back
doing
what
audiences
like
seeing
him
do
the
most.
Chuckles
Akshay,
“People
want
to
know
if
De
Dana
Dan
is
Hera
Pheri
Part
3.They
don"t
know
there"s
no
Hera
Pheri
3.
We"re
moving
on
to
Part
4.
The
only
thing
that
is
common
between
De
Dena
Dan
and
the
Hera
Pheri
series
is
the
fact
that
Paresh
Rawal,
Suniel
Shetty
and
I
are
together
and
it"s
directed
by
the
genius
director
Priyadarshan."
That
brings
us
to
the
fact
that
people
seem
to
not
appreciate
Akshay
in
non-comic
unconventional
roles.
“That
is
not
true," he
refutes.
“At
one
time
I
was
typecast
as
an
action
hero.
I
tried
very
hard
to
be
comic
hero
in
Mr
and
Mrs
Khiladi.
It
didn"t
click.
But
I
didn"t
give
up
my
attempts
to
be
accepted
in
comic
roles.
I"ve
done
out-and-out
comic
roles
successfully
and
romantic
films
too.
I"m
now
doing
a
rom-com
Action
Replay
with
Aishwarya
Bachchan.
But
at
the
same
time
I
won"t
give
up
doing
unconventional
films.
I
gave
my
best
shot
to
Tasveer
which
was
different.
So
what
if
it
didn"t
work?"
Akshay
openly
calls
Priyadarshan
genius.
“There"s
no
one
like
him.
He"s
the
speediest
director
in
the
business.
What
a
strong
team
he
has.
His
cinematographer
sets
up
shots
in
minutes.
Priyan
is
a
dream
director.
I
trust
him
completely
on
what
to
do
in
front
of
the
camera."
