Akshaye Khanna had a rather barren 2005 with not a single release to his credit. In fact his last release was way back in November 2004 as 'Hulchul' that went on to be a good success.

Come 2006 and there will be a flurry of Akshaye Khanna releases starting with a romantic comedy 'Shaadi Se Pehle'. Then there is a thriller '36, China Town' that reunites him with his 'Humraaz' director duo of Abbas-Mustan.

The buck doesn't stop here as he also has on floors films like 'Gandhi My Father' [directed by theatre personality Feroze Khan], remake of Tamil hit Autograph that has Aneez Bazmee at the helm and last but not the least Nikhil Advani's 'Salaam-E-Ishq: A Tribute to Love' that is being readied for a Diwali release.

This means that Akshaye would be very much visible practically the entire year. Wow!
