IS WELCOME AKKI’S LAST MAJOR COMEDY?
According to Smashits :
After having a hat trick of three super comedy successes this year , Akshay Kumar , once known as an action man of Bollywood would soon be noticed in the fourth major comedy in 2007. His three major comedies have been - ‘Namastey London’, ‘Heyy Babyy’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’. Now, Akshay is gearing up for the release of ‘Welcome’ , his next big laugh-out-loud comedy, releasing on December 20 worldwide. ‘Welcome’ , being touted as the biggest release of Eid and Christmas, marks the return of the Akshay-Katrina pair for a third time, besides assembling the biggest ensemble cast comprising Paresh Rawal , Anil Kapoor , Feroz Khan , Nana Patekar and Mallika Sherawat .
Currently, Akshay is busy shooting ‘Singh Is King’ in Australia. He says that his ‘Welcome’ is going to be the biggest laughter riot, and wonders if this movie would end his comedy era. ” No , certainly not as comedy comes as naturally to me as action! Next year I have a variety of films on the anvil. I am getting back to action with ‘Chandni Chowk To China’ and ‘Tashan’ . He adds, “Earlier, I was synonymous with action and got the khiladi tag. Now, with my last few films being successful comedies, I’ve become synonymous with comedy!”
