Eight by ten (earlier named Tasveer) is expected to be Akshay’s another triumph. It is a movie from the thriller genre and should attest him as a champion of this kind of film as well. He has already done well in such kind of movies and he has showed his mettle in Sangharsh and Bhool Bhulaiyya earlier.
Produced by Percept Picture Company and directed by Nagesh Kukhnoor, the movie has Ayesha Talkia in the lead opposite Akshay Kumar. Supporting roles will be played by Vinod Khanna, Javed Jaffrey, Anant Mahadevan, and the quintessentially beautiful Sharmila Tagore.
A large duration of shooting has been done in Calgary, Canada. The movie was earlier called Tasveer. Nagesh changed its name citing that the earlier name was jinxed. The movie seems to be inspired by Sixth Sense, a tremendous thriller by Night Shyamalan.
Akshay is playing a man with high-degree of mental powers. Reportedly the character cannot be hurt. This again is a take of Shyamalan’s Bruce Willis in Unbreakable. The climax scene is shot under water. Akshaye is tied to chains in the underwater sequence. In one of the path-breaking bollywood stunts, Akshaye jumps into water from height of 160 feet.
The year is touted as a big one for Ayesha too. Her movie “Wanted dead or alive” is slated to be released; this one is opposite Salman Khan. For the uninitiated, Ayesha would be playing Akshay’s wife.
Recently while shooting for Blue, Akshaye was badly injured during an underwater scene; he was to work opposite a group of diabolical sharks. This injury might shelve the floor plans of Eight by Ten a little.
