‘Hook Ya Crook’ would have been among the 2009 movie list, had John Abrahm, its hero, not met with a leg injury during the shoot. This David Dhawan direction was slated for a December release but has now been shifted to March next year.

‘Hook Ya Crook’ is said to be a comedy based on cricket. The hero is supposed to be doing a lot of running and playing, which at this juncture John won’t be able to do. Now, the director has nothing else to do but wait for the actor’s leg to heal. The shooting will resume once John is fit enough, and David had discussed this with the production house, which into turn extended the releasing date.

But some sources say that John is unhappy with the outcome of the movie and so he doesn’t want to the movie to release as yet. He wants to time it in such a way that he has another release quickly after it, to dilute the effect. Consequently he is not giving dates to wrap up the post works. But we can’t confirm as to how far this is true.

Produced by Ronnie Screwvala, ‘Hook Ya Crook’ stars Shreyas Talpade, Kay Kay Menon and Genelia D'Souza, besides John Abraham. Insiders say that the movie will also feature some of popular Indian cricketers.

Get well soon Johnny boy!
