Akshay's name is Khan

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar and Bollywood’s most masala director, Farah Khan, have just kick-started their already-hyped new venture ‘Tees Maar Khan’ at Film City.

Akshay is currently shooting his introductory shot in the film - a major action comedy scene on a huge jumbo jet constructed by set director, Sabu Cyril. Akshay, who plays a smart-alec character in the project, is being taken captive in the airplane and how he outsmarts everyone and plans his escape forms the crux of the scene. He will be seen doing some hilarious yet deadly action stunts in this particular scene.

Akshay Kumar is delighted to be associated with Farah Khan, the most strong-willed and most sought-after technician in Bollywood, on the project. Farah, who has directed hits like ‘Main Hoon Naa’ and ‘Om Shanti Om’, is also very excited to be working with Akshay, who is enjoying a terrific period in terms of delivering hit films. She feels the script of ‘Tees Maar Khan’ is just perfect for the accomplished actor. The film is slated for release in December 2010.
