Akshay Kumar is desperate for a hit. Following a series of duds at the box office, Akshay is now pinning hopes on his lucky mascot director Priyadarshan to help him.

The successful duo of Priyadarshan and Akshay are getting ready for the release ‘De Dana Dan’, a satirical comedy. The movie brings together Akki and Katrina Kaif, the two who are considered a safe bet when cast together.

Also starring in the lead roles are Paresh Rawal, Neha Dhupia, Sameera Reddy and Suniel Shetty. Akshay Kumar is confident that the movie would make it good at the box-office'.

His recent outings including ‘China Town to Chandni Chowk’ and ‘Blue’ disappeared without a trace at the theatres. Hence it is a movie to reckon with in the actor's career.
