Akshay takes a spooky turn!

Akshay Kumar and John Abraham speed-dating with some Garam girls, Akshay Kumar
Akshay Kumar has signed a supernatural thriller to be directed by Nagesh Kukunoor along the lines of Hollywood film, The Sixth Sense.

Namastey London’s success has prompted Akshay Kumar to really experiment with roles. So much so, that his new film with Nagesh Kukunoor is in the genre of Manoj Night Shyamalan’s supernatural thriller, The Sixth Sense. Discussions with Nagesh had been on for a while now, but it was only recently that the script was finally ready and that’s when Akshay gave his nod. The as-yet-untitled film is to be produced by Percept Picture Company.

For the actor, the film is a different experience altogether, as this is the first time he’s trying his hand at a supernatural thriller. Says Akshay, “I don’t think a film like this has ever been made in India.” This will also be the first time Akshay will be shooting with an entirely foreign crew.

The film, which will go on floors sometime in September, will be shot in a non-stop schedule. Locations are yet to be finalised, but in all probability the shooting will take place abroad.
