David Dhawan after facing the wrath of Hollywood studios for ripping of Will Smith's Hitch as Partner doesn't seem to have learnt his lesson.

He is at it again Thats copying a Hollywood film and making its Bollywood version, unofficially of course. His coming flick being produced by UTV and starring John Abraham has more than striking similarities to Adam Sandler starrer The Longest Yard.

The plot we have been told of Hook Ya Crook is - John Abraham plays Viraj Pradhan, a boy with unlimited passion for the game of cricket who aspires to play for the Indian Team one day.

Alas, it seems like his dream will never be realised when he is sentenced to a maximum security prison due to his reckless behaviour.

At the prison, he discovers that the dangerous inmates are as passionate about the game as him and soon he is in huge demand, thanks to his talent.

With his new ragtag group of friends, a tyrannical warden and his never-ending lust for the game, Viraj renews his search for a way to achieve his dream of playing cricket for India.

Now check the plot of The Longest Yard - Paul (Adam Sandler) is an ex-NFL player who is disgraced for match fixing in a big game.

He fights with his rich girlfriend Lena, played by Courtney Cox, and goes on a reckless, drunk drive throughout San Diego, smashing his car and several police cars. As a result, he is arrested by the police on multiple charges.

While in jail, the warden who knows about Paul's athletic skills asks him to assemble a football team of convicts so that their team of inmates can defeat the team of the sadistic guards of the jail. An old convict and a coach help Paul to get back in form and he readies the team to play against the guards.

The poster of The Longest Yard has an American football in cuffed hands while the poster of Hook Ya Crook shows a cricket ball in cuffed hands. No wonder Dhawan has been given the title of Sultan of Nonsense. But Rensil d'Silva, currently editing his Kareena-Saif directorial debut, denies any similarity between his film and the Peter Segal-directed 2005 prison drama.

"Hook Ya Crook is a prison- break drama. So to that extent there'd be some similarity between Hook Ya Crook and any other prison-break drama. Having said that let me make it clear that my film isn't at all a copy of Longest Yard."

Rensil has been eager to visit Hyderabad to check out the prison set that David Dhawan has erected at the Ramuji Rao Studio.

"Unfortunately I'm so tied up with editing the canned footage of my film I can't take any time off, " ends Rensil regretfully.

And John Abham who has been sweating it out for Hook Yaa Crook has decided to take break. We hear that the handsome hunk got severe heat stroke while shooting for the film.

A source from the sets tells us, "he has broken down due to the frustrating heat in Hyderabad while shooting for David Dhawan's film 'Hook Ya Crook'.

The heat is so much irresistible that John has taken a break to chill out in Mumbai which is moderately cooler as compared to Hyderabad. The reason for that is most of the shooting is outdoor and there are lots of more physical exercises which really exhausts everyone, not only the actors but other unit members.

But helplessly everyone is bound to shoot under the severe temperature which goes up upto 40."

Further our source told us, "So for that John had taken short break from shooting to meet Bipasha because soon she will be in Goa to face the heat while shooting for 'All the Best' with Ajay Devgan and Fardeen Khan. The Mahurat of this film happened yesterday at Madh island."
