Suniel said: ''Daddy Cool' is not the least risque or vulgar. We've kept it clean.'

So proud are producers Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria of their remake that they intend to show 'Daddy Cool' to the makers of 'Death At A Funeral'.

'There's nothing underhand or unfair in this adaptation. We've gone by all the rules. The producers have paid a huge amount of money to get the remake rights. And then Reliance Big Pictures bought the rights for Boney M's song 'Daddy Cool'. You could say 'Daddy Cool' is the face of the new corporatised Bollywood. We can't have sneaky stolen films any more. Everything has to be on paper,' said Suniel, one of the first entrepreneur heroes of Bollywood.

Suniel had a ball shooting for 'Daddy Cool'.

'It was like one big picnic, just like Priyadarshan's 'De Dana Dan'. All of us never knew when the film started and ended.'

Suniel's other ready-for-release film 'Red Alert' features him in a serious realistic avatar.

''Daddy Cool' was a good counter-point to 'Red Alert',' he said.
