Katrina Kaif has gone desi. In a far cry from her screen persona of a hip and mod character, she strikes an extremely traditional Indian pose for Priyadarshan's De Dhana Dhan. Just before she left for London to spend time with her family, Kat shot for a song sequence with Akshay Kumar at Mehboob Studios. Her Amrapali-style costume replete with traditional jewels and classical dance steps makes Kat appear unrecognisable. Check out the desi girl….

‘It just doesn’t get funnier than this’
Meena Iyer, TNN 25 July 2009, 12:00am IST

Ever since Neeraj Vohra snatched the joy out of his hands by directing his three favourite stars — Akshay Kumar , Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal — in Phir Hera Pheri, the director has been waiting to bring the hit team together. Now, nine years after Priyadarshan made that laugh-a-riot Hera Pheri in 2000, he’s managed to pull it off for Ratan Jain’s De Dhana Dhan.
“I’ve made a funny film... it is for the audience to patronise it now,” said Priyan who reportedly worked like a man possessed to cast the three actors together again.
But coming together wasn’t a simple journey for the foursome. And a lot has changed since. Akshay has turned into a superstar capable of carrying a film on his own shoulders. Priyadarshan is one of the busiest directors of the industry giving one hit after the other. And, Suniel and Akshay were reportedly having a tiff. They came close to working together in Singh Is Kinng but at the last hour Suniel withdrew and Sonu Sood was taken in his place.
“It was not easy for all of us to come together. Something or the other kept happening which prevented us from working together. Though we wanted to, because Hera Pheri was a great experience, and we had the time of our lives shooting for that film. But things were just not falling in place. I’m glad that we were able to do De Dhana Dhan,” says Akshay.
