"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 'The Longest Yard'," he said.

Rensil, who is currently editing his Kareena-Saif directorial debut, said he is eager to visit Hyderabad to check out the prison erected by David Dhawan at the Ramoji Rao Studio.

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