Titled
Welcome, this laugh-out-loud comedy, will see a release on 20 December 2007 in
UK cinemas. Touted
as the biggest release of Eid and Christmas, Welcome, marks the return of Akshay
and Katrina in leading roles for a third time. They
are well supported by Paresh Rawal, Anil Kapoor, Feroz Khan, Nana Patekar and
Mallika Sherawat.
Akshay, who is presently shooting for Singh Is King
in Australia, laughs, "Earlier, everyone said I was synonymous with action.
I bagged the khiladi tag. Now with my last few films being successful comedies,
I've become synonymous with comedy!"
Ask him about his hit run at
the box-office this year, he smiles, "I'm happy that the three comedies I
did this year had the box-office laughing. He
continued, "Welcome is the king of them all! It's a laugh-riot from the word
go and I hope everyone enjoys it during the festive season as it is my last major
comedy of 2007!"
So is Akshay bidding adieu to comedy? "Not
at all! Comedy comes as naturally to me as action. Next year I have a variety
of films in the pipeline. I am getting back to action with Chandni Chowk To China
and Tashan." "But
for my now I want everyone to concentrate on Welcome and welcome the new year
with a bang!" adds Akshay. News
