Romantic Manav in Taal; friendly Siddharth in Dil Chahta hai; humorous Jeetu in Hulchul; high octane villainous avatars in Abbas Mastaan’s Humraaz & Race and much more added to credits; Akshaye Khanna was on a long break after the 2012 comedy Gali Gali Chor Hai. However; we hear thatthe actor is set to make a comeback with the Rohit Dhawan directed film Dishoom to share the big screen along Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez. In fact we hear that Akshaye will be seen playing the main antagonist in the film as Sameer Joshi.
A close source told to one of the leading newspapers, “It took a lot of cajoling to get the nod from Akshaye. He will play a smart-talking villain who rattles off one wisecrack after another. He liked the script and the modalities are fast being worked out between the producer, Sajid Nadiadwala, and Akshaye, who has asked for a sizable remuneration.”
Though Akshaye has previously played villainous roles, in Dishoom he will be garbed in flashy, slightly over the-top wardrobe as an Afghan man.
When asked sometime way back in September 2013 about maintaining a low profile, the actor replied, “As far as films are concerned, I’m just waiting for the right script. Hopefully, I will start something soon!”
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Dishoom is expected to release in April 2016.
