Dhoni in Hook Ya Crook

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is finally to be seen on the big screen in his upcoming Hook Ya Crook which is a cricket-based film. 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

Dhoni has a full-fledged role in the movie and is being brought on board to share the field and cinema space with the rest of the cast and also to help his colleagues give a believable spin to the game.

David Dhawan, the director of the film said that Cricket does play a very important part in his film. This would be his most uncharacteristic film, very different from the comedies he is associated with. John Abraham and Uday Chopra will come together again after Dhoom. And Aditya Pancholi has a very important role.
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 2 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.

Fascination for particular numbers

As we know, Stars are identified to generally have a charm for particular numbers and letters. To improve their fortune stars spell their names differently and also originate new projects on a picky date. Occasionally they even make sure that their car plates and phone numbers are in accord with their desired number.
For example, Shahrukh Khan has empathy to the number 555. Even the star's family members, his complete staff at his Bandra residence Mannat and most of those who work in his production house Red Chillies have the number 555 as an essential part of their mobile numbers.
One of Shahrukh's staff associates said that all of them have the number 555 in their mobile numbers. In reality, the only difference between all their numbers is the last two numbers. All one has to do is change the last two numbers to call anyone who works for Shahrukh.
Apart from Shahrukh many other stars also are known to have an obsession for particular numbers. Amitabh Bachchan is also fond of the number 11 as his birthday is on October 11. A few of Sanjay Dutt's car plates have the number 4545. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan loves to gather currency with the number 786 while filmmaker Firoz Nadiadwala is also particularly fond of the number 786. Singer Sonu Nigam has always been attracted to the number 9.
