World News Engine: Akshay Kumar starts shooting 'Pokkiri Raja'

Akshay Kumar starts shooting 'Pokkiri Raja'

Barely days since he wrapped up shooting for Khiladi 786 in Oman and Akshay Kumar has once again jumped into the fray.

During the first half of yesterday, we spotted the actor during an outdoor shoot of the Hindi remake of the Malayalam film Pokkiri Rajadirected by Anthony D'Souza.

A source revealed, "Akshay Kumar likes to start early, and the entire team started shooting in the morning. A dramatic scene was being shot in the narrow lanes of maximum city. He has personally choreographed some of the action in the film. The first schedule was shot in Delhi and that was a hardcore
action sequence."

Quite the action junkie, Akshay plays a gangster in the film, albeit one who has a heart of gold. Strangely enough, for the first time, there is no heroine cast opposite the Khiladi.
