Akshaye’s role not a cameo, says Farah
While Akshaye Khanna is telling everyone who’ll listen to him that his role in the upcoming film, Tees Maar Khan, is only a special appearance and that Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif are the real stars, the director of the film, Farah Khan, begs to differ.
“I am aware about Akshaye stating that he is doing just a special appearance in the film. But for a film which was completed in around 55 days, he has shot for 21. Now tell me, how is it a special appearance?” she asks, adding, “Akshaye doesn’t realise it yet, but he is the second most important character in the script.”
In the film, Khanna plays a superstar who is on the hunt for a Hollywood award. His dream comes closer to realisation when a series of events lead to his biggest acting assignment ever.
“Trust me when I say this: Akshaye is the maddest of them all in the film. He is truly the surprise element,” says Farah in support of the actor who has always labelled himself the underdog. “I have told him that I will do taandav on his head when he gets all the rave reviews for the film.”
We will know how good his performance is when the film releases. There is no denying that he does have a few good ones — performances that is, to his credit.
But it seems more like Akshaye Khanna has a major chip on his shoulder about being talented and yet always having to play roles second to the lead.
