Akshay
Kumar
and
Priyadarshan's
new
outing,
De
Dana
Dan,
has
evoked
tremendous
interest
within
and
outside
the
industry.
The
film
is
piping
hot,
to
put
it
in
simple
and
straightforward
terms.
The
Akshay-Suniel-Paresh
pairing
with
Priyadarshan
evokes
strong
memories
of
Hera
Pheri.
"De
Dana
Dan
is
not
Hera
Pheri," producer
Ratan
Jain
clarifies,
"Sure,
the
star
cast
is
same
and
so
is
the
director,
but
there's
no
effort
to
make
a
sequel
to
Hera
Pheri
or
be
like
Hera
Pheri.
De
Dana
Dan
has
a
completely
different
storyline
and
the
character
sketches
are
poles
apart
too."
But
comparisons
with
Hera
Pheri
are
inevitable.
"I
am
well
aware
of
that,
but
the
fact
is
that
De
Dana
Dan
is
far
more
entertaining
than
any
Akshay
-
Priyadarshan
movies
made
in
the
past.
De
Dana
Dan
has
Priyan
and
Akshay
at
their
best,"
the
respected
producer
explains.
Ratan
Jain,
who
has
worked
with
Aamir
(Akele
Hum
Akele
Tum,
Mela),
Shahrukh
Khan
(Baazigar,
Baadshah,
Yes
Boss,
Josh,
Main
Hoon
Naa)
and
Akki
regularly,
is
planning
a
project
each
with
Abbas-Mustan
and
Priyadarshan
in
the
near
future.
What
happens
to
Khiladi
2?
"That
will
be
made
with
Abbas-Mustan
and
Akki
only,
but
till
we
lay
our
hands
on
the
right
script,
we
wouldn't
like
to
announce
the
project,"
he
says.
