Priyadarshan is unhappy that he was not given the opportunity to discover fresh talent. He will now use the dates he had allocated to make a thriller with Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Sunil Shetty and Vidya Balan. Priyadarshan is excited about the project as it is his first thriller, but he also disappointed about having to shelve the Prateik film.

Priyadarshan is now looking forward to the release of his next movie, Khatta Meetha, starring Akshay Kumar.
