The IHC (Institute for Human Continuity), a secret organisation, has realised the situation and begins constructing vast arks beneath the Himalayan mountains designed to withstand most natural disasters in order to save both humanity, significant species, and the greatest treasures of mankind for when doomsday finally happens.

There are arguments, however, about how and when the governments of the world will alert their fellow citizens and even discussions about how the remaining survivors will be selected to survive Armageddon. When they discover that the global cataclysm is happening much faster than expected, they must race to these ships to save the human race before all is lost.

Meanwhile on a day trip to Yellowstone with his two young children, Jackson meets Charlie Frost, who hosts his own radio segment and blog about his belief that the Mayans are correct about 2012. Over the coming days vast cracks are found within the fault lines in California, and despite the pleas from the government that everything is fine, Jackson is not convinced.
Hiring a private plane and gathering crucial supplies he races to his ex-wife’s L.A. home to save himself and his family from the Earth’s

crust displacement occurring all around them. After a long and dangerous race through the collapsing streets of LA to get to Santa Monica Airport, Kate’s new boyfriend Gordon uses his pilot skills to get the family to safety as the runway crumbles beneath them.
After they take off, they fly dangerously through Los Angeles as the entire city crumbles into oblivion around them. As they look back

the entire cityscape of Los Angeles has already started to crumble into the Pacific.
It soon becomes clear that it’s not just Los Angeles that’s experiencing disaster, the Yellowstone Super volcano erupts, Las Vegas is destroyed by a massive chasm that cuts through the city and an ash cloud from the Yellowstone eruption, more massive earthquakes occur in South America (one of which destroys the city of Rio de Janeiro).

Washington, D.C. is flooded by an enormous tsunami which crushes the White House, and The Vatican in Rome crumbles into oblivion destroying thousand-year old Catholic architecture and killing thousands of worshippers within seconds. As massive tidal waves began to sweep across the Earth (even at one point beginning to climb over the Himalayas), the U.S. government declares the end of the world.
A group of survivors, including Jackson Curtis and his family must fight their way to China before they can board the great arks and
save themselves from the gigantic tidal waves flooding the Earth.

“The title ‘De Dana Dan’ adds up to the number 30, symbolising mental superiority and material attitude. But it focusses more on increasing mental attitude than material happiness. Therefore, it is neither totally auspicious nor inauspicious,” explains Bhavikk.

“For Akshay Kumar, (September 9, 1967) – Number 3 is one of his strongest numbers, and so, he will benefit from the film. Ditto for Paresh Rawal (May 30, 1950). The release date of the film is November 27 – the sum total of Sunil Shetty’s date of birth (August 11, 1961) adds to the same number, so he will also gain from the film,” predicts Bhavikk.

“The period from November 24 to December 23 comes under the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, which is also ruled by Number 3 – the planet of wealth and knowledge. So it seems ‘De Dana Dan’ will only spread cheer and bring some ‘good news’ for the industry,” concludes Bhavikk on a happy note.

Thankfully the shoot had packed up and, there were not many people present on the sets. The fire brigade reached on and the fire was controlled in a matter of 15 minutes.
A source on the set reports, “The fire broke out due to an electrical problem, two technicians were injured but thankfully not many were hurt. The timely arrival of the fire brigade did help in curbing the fire and it is good that the shoot had wrapped up earlier. Rhea was on the sets and made sure everyone was doing okay. The reason we were scared is because Filmcity is huge and interconnected, if the fire would not have been curbed sooner, the whole place could have been in ashes today. Rhea herself confirmed the news saying, ‘Due to an electric fault, there was a small fire on the sets of ‘Aisha’ which was curbed within 15 minutes.

There was no major damage on the sets. We will resume shooting in a couple of days.’
Rhea seems to be facing quite a few setbacks with her ambitious project, the last one being Abhay views on how the script of the film was shaping up. The actor was unhappy with the type of attention being paid to Sonam’s clothes and accessories rather than the storyline or his character. Abhay has been making quite a few childish demands since then on sets and poor Rhea has to bear the brunt of it all.
