First Look: Khiladi 786 - Made in Punjab

It's been a while since fans last saw Akshay Kumar play his immortalised role of a Khiladi. But all that may now be put to rest as buzz has it that the actor will soon be back in his Khiladi mode to impress fans - young and old alike, albeit with a twist.

The latest addition to the Khiladi series, we hear, is Khiladi 786 - Made in Punjab, with Akshay teaming up with newly turned funny man, Himesh Reshammiya (who is tipped to play a Gujrati), as the male leads. The female lead, however, is yet to be finalised. Nonetheless, to add more to the comical flavor, Paresh Rawal will be seen playing the role of Champaklal, Himesh's father in the movie.

Directed by Rohit Shetty's assistant, Ashish R. Mohan, with music and story by Himesh, this action comedy is planned to hit the screens next Diwali.

Looks like Diwali 2012 will be much anticipated by Khiladi fans. Meanwhile, take a peek into the movie's first posters!
