Akshay in Kaminey territory
Looks like Akshay Kumar is moving away from his mindless commercial films and looking to do something substantial and meaningful. He is keen to work with Vishal Bhardwaj.
Everyone loves the promos and we are all excited about Kaminey. Akshay Kumar is no exception. Not only is he looking forward to Kaminey, he also wants to work with Vishal Bhardwaj in the near future.Akshay and Vishal met recently before Akshay jetted off to London to shoot Housefull. Vishal narrated a script to him and he liked it.
Vishal, however, is not a frivolous and opportunistic director who wants to cash in on Akshay’s popularity. He wanted to work with Akshay even before he made Maqbool. Akshay wasn’t such a big star then but had proved his acting prowess in films like Hera Pheri. In fact, for Irrfan Khan's role, Vishal had first thought of Akki for the lead. Who would have thought?
Akshay said that working with a director of Vishal’s calibre would be a step forward for him. He said that his films are real yet very entertaining.
Vishal isn’t the only critically acclaimed director that Khiladi Kumar wants to work with. Love Aaj Kal director Imtiaz Ali is also on his list. He saw the film in London and was impressed with the performances.
If reports are to be believed, Shahid and Vishal came to blows in the latter’s office and aren’t really on talking terms. The bone of contention is that Vishal said that Shahid would be a better actor if he paid less attention to his hair and muscles. He isn’t even happy with the way Shahid is promoting the film.
So even if Shahid doesn’t do Vishal’s next film, there is already a long line of A-listers lined up to work with the hatke director. Saif and Kareena want to be part of The Departed remake while Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar are keen to work with him.
Vishal has all of them eating out of his hands. He's making a killing in the film industry with success after success. Kaminey is touted to keep him at the top of the order.
