Akshaye is back in town from his vacation from New York. The break has done him a lot of good he has also lost weight and looks good. Career wise too he is gonna be on a roll this year with unexceptional line up of films up his sleeves post the success of '36 China Town.'

In addition, Anil Kapoor is so impressed with Akshaye's performance in Mahatma v/s Gandhi that he has already signed him for his next production with Ashwariya. This makes it quite sure that the 'Taal' team will repeat the same magic. Incidentally all his co-stars swear by the talented Akshaye. Ayesha Takia can't stop raving about him since their last film together. And now even Priyanka has formed a mutual admiration society with Akshaye for their forthcoming 'Aap Ki Khatir.'

Besides his co-stars, he is also a favorite with his producers right from Subhash Ghai (Taal, China Town) to Ratan Jain (Humraaz, Hulchul, Hungama) who always repeat him in their films.

Says Akshaye, "It's been a nice and rejuvenating break. I am excited and looking forward to my forthcoming releases." And he should definitely be looking forward to that, what with Ratan Jain 'Aap Ki Khatir', Anil Kapoor's 'Mahatma v/s Gandhi' & Nikhil Advani's 'Salaam-E- Ishq' slated for release this year.

It’s gonna be quite an eventful year this year. Watch out as Akshaye is on a roll!
