A fantastic journey with Akshay

With ‘Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty’ doing well at the domestic box office, producer Vipul Shah is ecstatic as his alliance with actor Akshay Kumar has once again struck gold.

Shah-Akshay’s team has delivered four hits — Aankhen, Waqt - Race Against Time, Namastey London and ‘Singh Is Kinng’. 

Their only fiasco so far has been ‘Action Replayy’. About his partnership with Akshay, Shah says, “It has been a fantastic journey with Akshay.

‘Holiday’ is our sixth film together and four out of five films were successful. What is very important is that all films got a lot of credibility from the audience.”

In ‘Holiday’, director AR Murugadoss focussed on sleeper cells and how quietly they merge into their target society before unleashing havoc. 

The thrilling drama had new style of action directed by renowned British stuntman Greg Powell, known for his work in Hollywood’s super hit franchises such as ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘James Bond’. The film-maker said the successes have helped them in winning a ‘good reputation’.

“My relationship with Akshay has reached that stage where we constantly want to do better work together. It has become stronger by the day,” says Shah.
