Akshaye's back on the block

Akshaye Khanna is well on his way back to the big screen, it seems. Apart from playing a role in Rohit Dhawan’s Dishoom, Akshaye will also been seen in a film with Sridevi, produced by Boney Kapoor. From what we hear, he is also in talks with Karan Johar for the latter’s upcoming film, although nothing is official yet. All this, after four years of staying off screen. The last film Akshaye appeared in was Gali Gali Chor Hai, back in 2012.

Akshaye, according to his close friends, is in no hurry to sign a film. He takes his time to go through scripts at his Alibaug farmhouse and gives it a nod only if it is compelling enough. Says a source, “Akshaye spends most of his time at his farmhouse in Alibaug and travels to Mumbai whenever needed. He has kept it that way for a long time now and people who want to sign him for films also understand this procedure. Getting in touch with him takes time but he is always keen to hear new subjects.”
