The forgotten side of Akshay
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,February 20 2009]
It has been sometime since we saw Akshay Kumar in a leading man's role sans any traces of comedy. Agreed that he conquered the favour of the film lovers through his high-impact humour roles coupled with his brilliant comic timing starting his ascend to the top rank with 'Hera Pheri'
But it's high time the hunk did a role having the same effect as his wonderfully written character in Tanuja Chandra's 'Sangrash' which was highly appreciated.
The trashing of 'Chandni Chowk To China' by the critics as well as film lovers due to mundane and clichéd scenes seems to have happened for good. The debacle of the movie at the box office brought back the spotlight on some of the earlier works of Akshay like in 'Dhadkan', and all of his 'Khiladi' movies.
It is told that every downfall is in fact a path leading to an even bigger success than previously experienced. The time has not yet come to really decide whether the forthcoming 'Tasveer' canned by Nagesh Kukunoor is going to be a surprise winner.
Going by the released promo videos and the nucleus of the psychological thriller, there is a feeling that it is going to keep the viewers on the edge of the seats. In 'Tasveer' Akshay plays a man capable of unearthing others heavily guarded secrets.
The supernatural thriller even after having Akshay in the lead role has not evoked any expectations or hype till now. This may be because the entire feel and content of the flick is totally different from all the previous movies done by Akshay.
The whole world knows that 'Tasveer' will be releasing in theatres on March 3 and still there s not much hype for 'Tasveer' as the promotional tactics have still not been flagged off. It seems that film buffs have forgotten that the action star is not only an expert in doing the most risky action sequences and tickling the funny bones, but also can do complete justice to a very somber character.
So folks get ready to watch Akshay in a new avtar as 'Tasveer' will be unveiled in a couple of weeks from now!
