Action-comedy is Akshay Kumar's forte and Nikhil Advani's 'Chandni Chowk To China' seems to be just what the box office doctors ordered.
"Action and comedy are Akshay's forte and I'm glad to direct him in a film that is written by someone else," Advani said.
"I realised I went wrong in the scripting of 'Salaam-e-Ishq'. I should've edited the script more ruthlessly. Here, all I've to do is to put it all on film," Advani added.
Jointly produced by Warner Brothers and Rohan Sippy, 'Chandni Chowk To China' fits the athletic star like a glove. It will give Akshay a chance to return to his rugged 'Khiladi' roots, with lots of sophisticated fight sequences thrown in.
"It's an action comedy. It's a very big film to be shot in the Far East with very sophisticated technical effects done abroad. It would be more than 'Dhoom 2', but would be very much like 'Dhoom' in mood. 'Dhoom' had more comic elements. Call it talent or luck, but right now I'm only riding piggyback on the reputation of Rohan Sippy and Akshay," Advani revealed.
The director started shooting the film February 22 in different parts of China, including Shanghai. He plans to wrap it up in May. In fact, the film will have many action scenes involving martial artistes.
The rather disappointing performance of 'Salaam-e-Ishq' hasn't dampened director Advani's spirits. He's ready to bounce back with a mammoth action movie.
