Akshaye Khanna Has Stopped Signing The Films

Though he has two of the biggest releases lined up this year but Akshaye Khanna instead of signing more films has decided to put all his future projects on hold.
The reason? Well Akshaye wants to see the outcome of his films NO PROBLEM and TEES MAAR KHAN before he decides on his next project. Says he, ‘I have decided not to sign any more films till the fate of my current films is not decided. I think I have got some of the best films under my belt this year and I would rather wait for the verdict they get before thinking of signing more films.’
Not only that. Ask him about his image as a serious actor who is now on a comic spree, Akshaye clarifies, ‘I think this is purely because cinema is driven by the taste of the audiences. If you look at some of the big hits in the last few years, they have mostly been comedy films. This is one of the reasons why I am also doing such films. At the same time, doing such films has its own charm and I love every bit of it.’
Though Akshaye might be back on the scene, but will his current films add to his career is something that remains to be seen. Source

Akshaye Khanna’s Role In ‘Tees Maar Khan’ Is Not Just A Special Appearance

Akshaye Khanna may be labelling his role in ‘Tees Maar Khan’ as a ’special appearance’. However, if his director Farah Khan is to be believed, Akshaye has a much integral part to play in this Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer than just being relegated to a special appearance.
“He is truly the surprise element of the film. I guess this is applicable not just for the audience but also Akshaye himself. I am sure he too would be surprised to see his own role in the film. He feels that he isn’t there in the film much but the fact is that he has a strong presence in ‘Tees Maar Khan’,” says Farah in a confident tone.
With the film being less than a month away from release, Farah is throwing an open challenge to her actor who has forever revelled being an underdog right through his career, “Trust me when I say this but Akshaye is the maddest of them all in the film”, she says, “I have told him that I will do ‘taandav’ on his head when he would be walking away with all the rave reviews for the film. He is that special to the film.”
Hope Akshaye too starts believing that soon. Source
