Corporate
entity
UTV
and
the
badshaah
of
entertainers
David
Dhawan
have
teamed
up
for
a
new
project
that's
titled
Hook
Ya
Crook.
An
offbeat
title,
right?
Wait
till
you
hear
the
star
cast
of
the
film
and
you'd
agree
that
the
casting
is
equally
unusual:
Siddharth
and
Amrita
Rao.
Siddharth, who won tremendous acclaim for his performance in Rang De Basanti [also produced by UTV], will now appear in his second Hindi film and in a role that's a far cry from the one essayed by him in R.D.B. Meanwhile, the makers are toying with the idea of casting a senior actor for a pivotal role and it could be Sanjay Dutt or Nana Patekar.
Besides a wacky title and an atypical star cast, there's yet another unusual factor going. Rensil D'Silva, who wrote the script of Rang De Basanti, has penned the script for this David Dhawan film -- another first. "It's the most interesting script to come out of UTV," Siddharth Roy Kapur of UTV informs me.
What's the film all about? "You can't slot Hook Ya Crook in any one particular genre. It's a thriller, it has comedy in good doses, there's a love story too... and cricket as well," Siddharth enlightens. Principal shooting of the film is expected to commence in April 2007.
