But Due to the same star casts ‘De Dana Dan’ will be compared to Priyadarshan’s ‘Hera Pheri’ and ‘Phir Hera Pheri’ movies.

One of the producers said, “‘De Dana Dan’ is not ‘Hera Pheri’. Sure the star cast is the same and so is the director, but there’s no effort to make a sequel to ‘Hera Pheri’ or be like ‘Hera Pheri’. But comparisons with ‘Hera Pheri’ are inevitable. ‘De Dana Dan’ is far more entertaining than any Akshay-Priyadarshan movies made in the past.”

The major parts of the movie have been shot in Singapore. The story of the movie revolves around three characters Nitin Bankar (Akshay Kumar), Ram Mishra (Suneil Shetty) and Harbans Chadda (Paresh Rawal).

After the series of flops Akshay has a high expectation from the film. He said, “If this movie gets appreciated half as much as it deserves, I’d be very happy man. It has created a new Bollywood dimension and no matter what the outcome may be, I take my hat off to every one who made this movie”.
