On the eve of his 48th birthday, Bollywood’s workaholic superstar Akshay Kumar, announced yet another film. A romantic thriller titled ‘Rustom’, will mark the actor’s third collaboration with Neeraj Pandey.
Akshay’s previous two films with Neeraj, ‘Special 26’ and ‘Baby’, have done well at the box office and also won him critical acclaim.
Inspired by real life incidents, ‘Rustom’ will be co-produced by Zee Studios, KriArj Entertainment and Friday Filmworks.
“Having worked with Neeraj on two fabulous projects, I am excited to start work on our new film. I’m happy that Zee Studios is putting its might behind this film along with KriArj Entertainment and Friday Filmworks. It gives me and the entire team confidence of this launch worldwide using the global might of Zee” Akshay said in a statement that was released to the media.
Neeraj Pandey himself expressed confidence that the role is perfect for Akshay.
“When Tinu narrated ‘Rustom’ to us, we immediately got hooked to the quality of the narrative and its potential and instantly decided that it was something that we would like to produce. We also really felt that given the nature of the story, Akshay would be the perfect fit and him agreeing to come on board will definitely give it the canvas it requires.”

Happy Birthday Akshay Kumar….
Many happy returns of the day akshay Kumar! Have a great years ahead and may many successes come to you.
@Anand the chameleon aka @Boney kapoor you have proved your aukaat you gatarchaap chameleon slum. You were easily calling me chameleon and many dirty words but you have proved your standard and your 2 RS aukaat you gatarchaap 2 RS slum by bashing someone on his birthday by using words like “Chakki”, “floppy”, etc. Shame on you slums. You have proved your bhojpuri values along with Tiger the real Billi and ultron bhojpuri. You all bhojpuris are same.
insecured fans know that independence day is not good for akshay now they want christmas. How can Akshay book for x mas when Aamir Khan is around.! Yeh toh Salman ka barapan hai ki usne srk no invite kiya eid clash me. If not did is reserved for Salman. Diwali use to be reserved for king khan but Ajay Devgan usko aisa laat mara ki haklu khan has been compelled to release on other dates like other ordinary actors. @sss abhe salle aab akki fans se support mange nikhle kya? Chi!! Khan ki stardom ka waat nikhal gaye.?????
@Tiger the real Billi hats off to you showing your colors and your true 2 rs value by bashing someone like this even on his birthday. Now don’t dare to call me chameleon before looking in to the mirror you 2 rs bhojpuri. You and @Anand the chameleon and another bhojpuri @ultron the bhojpuri have proved your 2 RS aukaat by bashing akshay Kumar on his birthday like using such disgusting words. Keep it up you 2 rs classless bhojpuris.
Even on his birthday the Joker Boy is thinking about his next fat paycheck hence hes the Greedy Gobar….!
My fav joker boy movie is Mohra- since then all his subsequents movies are crapfests
On his Birthday he meets with his bank manager first thing to deposit his next paycheck- the greed of this joker boy knows no bounds….!
Salam Wlykm. Hello everybody. Didi and I are sending our warm wishes to Akshay Kumar and his beautiful family on his birthday. She personally sms me to post this. Allah Hafeez all.
@Na Win ( Never Win )…
Or I must call you Shit… Your identity is just like your name, Mr. Shit… Aaj Bhai ke Birthday ke saath Tera Ye new naam bhi blockbuster hone wala hai Dhakkan… Chal shuruaat Tujhhse hi karta hu, Sun Dhakkan (Shit), Real ki baat karta hai to, Akki se bada real hero hai teri iss cheap thinking mein to bata…
Ab Fir apni knowledge and low education ka proof mat dena collections ko bata kar, Reality ki baat karta
hai to Akki is the only real hero, Jaa and give urself a bit shit of time, Chaman…
Jo real life mein stunts bhai ne kiye hai uska 10 percent hi karke dikha de tera whatever hero to ye page chhod
dunga…
And, Please revert, Mujhhe tera wait rahega, Kaafi time baad tujhh jaisa dhakkan mila hai and I have also started debating over Khiladi Bhai after almost 5 years…
Be ready…
And, We all don’t require any Birthday wish and comments from You for Akki Bhai… Coz, Tere jaiae chand logo ki wajah se NAYI-NAYI GAALIYA ISS DUNIYA MEIN BANTI HAI…
@Tasneem Iqbal : Walaikum Salaam !!!!! Are you Aisha’s sister ??
Convey my regards and salaam to her !!!!!!! :-)
@Tasneem Iqbal !! Your sister is a nice analyst here. Extend our regards and tell her we miss her company here. A true bollywood fan who does not hold any sort of malice and personal hatred for a particular actor like many here who knows themselves. Allah hafeez dear.
From Being Waiter to Martial arts teacher, the days he struggled before becoming an actor.Journey Of A Self Made Superstar AKSHAY KUMAR:
1.Akshay went to Bangkok after his 12th grade to learn Muay Thai(a Thai martial art form) . His family could only afford his onward journey ticket to Bangkok and he himself had to manage his expenses over there.He had to work at a restaurant (named metro guest house) over there as a waiter cum part time chef and slept in the kitchen of the same restaurant to manage his expenses.He claims the days he spent in Bangkok were one of hardest ones of his life, which taught him the harsh realities of the world and made him stronger.He had to do many odd jobs after that to earn his living.
2.He bought Kundan jewellery(Indian imitation jewellery) from Delhi and sold it in Mumbai, while taking back clothes from fashion street in Mumbai to Delhi for selling those over there. Just to cover up for the travelling costs.He sold UNICEF cards, just earning 5 paise per card.He worked at a travel agency in Kolkata and Dhaka for 2-3 years on a miniscule salary.
3.He went door to door and asked people whether they were interested in learning karate, ran a small martial arts academy and earned just about 3K a month by martial arts coaching.Did modelling assignments for small firms which paid him higher money than he earned for the whole month by teaching martial arts,this made him think seriously about taking up modelling as his profession.
4.Worked as a background dancer with not so famous dance groups which performed at Shanmukhan and Hall, Mumbai.As he could not afford to pay for shooting a portfolio , he worked as an assistant to ace photographer Jayesh Seth for some time to make up for his portfolio fees.That was his first interaction with the industry people.After a lot of struggle he finally landed a role in a Bollywood a movie in the year 1991.
5.You may think that after getting a break in Bollywood, his struggle was over.His journey in Bollywood was not that easy one though.
6.He has had bad patches a couple of times in his career due to bad choices of his films and directors who could not harness his true potential(at once he even considered quitting Bollywood and setting up a hotel with whatever money he had).People said his career was over , but he has always bounced back much stronger and better than ever before.
7.It’s never about where you come from, it’s always about where you want to be. If a waiter who once struggled to make 3K a month can become the highest tax paying superstar in Bollywood history, then you too can achieve your dreams.
He is true SELF MADE SUPERSTAR…
