AKKI AND KAT RETURN AGAIN

Bollywood's original Khiladi, Akshay Kumar is ready to romance Katrina Kaif in a new film after having worked together in six films earlier. 

The film, a remake of South film Ramana, will be co-produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shabina Khan. Southern film director M Raja is slated to helm the Hindi version.

Akshay and Katrina were last seen on screen in 2010 movie Tees Maar Khan that turned out to be a total box office disaster.

"Akshay and Katrina have been probably the most popular hit pair in recent times with blockbusters like Singh is Kinng, Namaste London and Welcome, amongst others. Interestingly, in spite of them doing back-to-back films, they were hardly linked with each other romantically," said a source. 

However, after the lukewarm response to De Dana Dhan and Tees Maar Khan, they decided to take a break. Akshay moved on with Sonakshi Sinha as his new lucky mascot.

The source added: "The initial talks are already done and the project is expected to go on floors by the end of the year. Shabina and Akshay were keen that the film should have Katrina once again as their fans would love to see them getting back together on the big screen."

Katrina and Shabina remained unavailable for comment. Directed by AR Murugadoss, Ramana is a 2002 Tamil action film. The blockbuster featured Vijaykanth and Simran. It was later remade in Telugu as Tagore with Chiranjeevi in the lead and then also in Kannada as Vishnu Sena with Vishnuvardhan in the lead role.

Akshay Kumar – Paresh Rawal to do ‘International Hera Pheri’ this time

Akshay Kumar began his comedy phase with Hera Pheri which was a huge success. This fuelled him to take up more comedies. This also gave Paresh Rawal and Suneil Shetty a chance revive their careers. No wonder a sequel followed after a few days later, which too got successful and so a third installment was discussed as well. But nothing happened and many claimed the project has been shelved. However, if Suniel Shetty is believed, the third movie is very much on and will be an international one.

Suniel said that Hera Pheri’s third movie will be titled International Hera Pheri. In fact, the director of the original Priyadarshan will be back in the third follow-up. Rather it is heard that the whole crew of the original will be back with the exception of the cinematographer, Jeeva, who expired recently. The second movie was written by Neeraj Vora but the third will be penned by the writer of Hera Pheri Siddiqui.

 

Meanwhile, Akshay is discussing the project with Feroz Niadadwala who wa the producer of last two films. They are trying to schedule the shooting in such a way so that it is comfortable for everyone. Suniel expects the movie to start rolling by the later half of this year.

 

Well, we hope with the original crew back, there will be a story to take forward and will not be there just for the heck of it.
