Patiala House, the directorial venture of Nikhil Advani, is waiting for a new member on its cast. The film needed someone to play the younger version of its protagonist Akshay Kumar.

Patiala House said to carry few important flashback scenes involving Rishi Kapoor, (Akshay’s father in the film), and his 17-yr old son. While it is easier to bring in a younger Rishi, the director is keen to rope in someone who matches to Akki’s strong personality.

The director had an idea to cast someone who precisely resembles Akki.

Nikhil wasn’t in favour to launch a talent-hunt for the film, as he felt that it would attract unnecessary attention. So the director instead thought of roping in Akshay's cousin. However, they would take on the hunting route if things don’t work out. Now, the director is said to be keeping his fingers crossed, hoping to get a positive reply from Akki.

The shooting of ‘Patiala House’ is said to have started quite recently.
