In this age of dropping-off-the-shirt, our Khiladi Kumar is not willing to remain behind in the race. For his forthcoming film, Akshay Kumar will show-off his chiselled body, that too for a fight sequence.

And the film in question is the remake of the 2010 Malayalam hit ‘Pokkiri Raja’.

Buzz is that the climax of the film is schedule to happen in January 2013, where Akki and film’s villain will feature in hand-to-hand bare chested combat.

According to sources, the sequence to be held in Mumbai dockyard, in fact was earlier planned to happen in March but got pre-poned due to location availability. So earlier when the actors had a grace time to work on their physique, now sadly don’t have enough time to shape up their body.

The director Tony D’Souza is keen that both the actors synchronize their screen presence, since the climatic combat requires a certain physical uniformity between the hero and villain. Hence Akki and Ronit now need to work on their physicality to look combatively compatible on screen, sources added.

B-town already have witnessed a similar power-packed bare action, courtesy ‘Dabangg’ where Salman Khan and Sonu Sood showed off their hot-looking six-packed bodies in one-to-one tussle.

Now let’s wait and watch whether our Khiladi will bare his body, which he had not done for a long time....
