Let’s do the cha-cha


Abhay Deol is all set to play a stylish and suave thief in UTV's Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye. Interestingly, his uncle Dharmendra also played a similar character in Shalimar. Director Dibakar Banerjee of Khosla Ka Ghosla fame went up to Dharmendra to get details about his character in Shalimar to incorporate it in Abhay's film.
Ram Mirchandani, vice president UTV Motion Pictures says, "Abhay's character in the film is that of a cunning thief. That's why Dibakar thought of getting minute details of Dharmendra's charcter in Shalimar. Dharamji explained to him the fine nuances and situations and even gave him ideas of how Abahy should dress in Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye."
What needs to be seen is how well will Abhay manage to step into his talented uncle's shoes.
