Yup, the new hero of filmmaker David Dhawan's new movie is a chimpanzee. Tentatively titled C'mon Pappu, the film will also feature Akshay Kumar in an important role.
But first things first, Dhawan is on the lookout for his 'hero', and if the grapevine is to be believed, he would soon fly off to Malaysia to find one that fits the bill.
Making films with animals entails a lot of special effects, and PPC, the producers of the film have some mega plans lined up, which include roping in international special effects expert Stan Winston of Jurassic Park and Terminator fame.
This is Dhawan's latest film after the comedy Partner, which starred Salman Khan, Govinda, Katrina Kaif and Lara Dutta.
