Going with his screen character Shoheb, Akshay Kumar will be taking his forthcoming film ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again' to UK.

Taking a step ahead in terms of promoting the film, the makers and Akki will promote the film at the upcoming India-Pakistan Cricket match, that is to be held in UK’s Edgbaston Stadium.

In the film, Akshay playing Shoheb is portrayed as a cricket loving gangster and so going with the film’s plot, the team felt that it will be best to showcase the film at such an international level. "Though he will not don his look in the film, Akshay has had a long tryst with cricket, so the ongoing ICC made for an ideal platform to promote the film," confirmed Tanuj Garg, CEO Balaji Motion Pictures, in an interview.

Incidentally Akshay is said to be currently in New York for a holiday and he will soon cut short his trip to promote OUATIMA.

Directed by Milan Luthria and also starring Imran Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, OUATIMA is slated to release on 15th August 2013.
