Akshay starrer Blue will mirror the 70s classic The Deep

Bollywood means lifting and Akshay starrer Blue will mirror the 70s classic The Deep.
"To a certain extent 'Blue' is inspired by 'The Deep'," said Anthony D'Souza, Blue's director.
So is it about a sunken ship and drug smuggling?
"My film has nothing to do with drugs and cocaine. It is based on lost treasure which three friends try to find. It is related to the obstacles that they face in the process and the deceit and betrayal among themselves and others," D'Souza said.
"My film has certain special characters that will give it a different feel," he said, warning that his movie was inspired by many films not just one. "Blue' is not only inspired by one film but has references from various underwater films and also creature films like 'Jaws'," he added.Starring Sanjay Dutt, Katrina, Zayed Khan and Lara Dutta apart from Akshay, it is being touted as the most expensive movie ever made in Bollywood with a budget of over 120 crore.

D'Souza said that Sanjay and Akshay play fishermen from Bahamas, and Zayed joins them in a treasure hunt. Lara plays Sanjay's wife and Katrina's character has grey shades to it.
"Most of the characters in my film are in grey shades. The bad guy in the film is one among the three main lead characters and Katrina will surprise the audience with her role," D' Souza said.
"The three heroes, who go on the mission, have to encounter sharks before reaching the treasure," he added.
