Rohit Dhawan, the son of filmmaker-editor David Dhawan has finally got third time lucky.

Rohit was earlier supposed to make his directorial debut with a film titled Come on Pappu. This film was to star Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor and a chimpanzee but its producers Percept Picture Company supposedly backed out due to lack of funds

. Then it seems Rohit completely dropped the idea of making this film. He then worked on his own script and prepared his own set up for this film starring Akshay Kumar and John Abraham in the lead.

Apparently, he took this project to Studio 18 but they refused to go ahead with it because of Akshay Kumar's high price demand and John Abraham's mega fee hike post back to back successes of Dostana and New York.

But finally Rohit got his dream debut project fulfilled when he approached another corporate biggie third time around. Eros International gave nod to his proposal and it will now be made under their banner.

This film is a romantic comedy and will feature Akki-John playing pole dancers in a strip club. They had last worked together in 2005's comic hit Garam Masala.
