After much speculation, Ghajini director Murgadoss has cast Akshay Kumar in his next film. It will be produced by Akshay's friend Vipul Shah. But this time, the action will be more fun and less gross, unlike Ghajini's action sequences. In fact, Vipul Shah has budgeted Rs 25 crore for the action sequences.

The film is an original script and not a remake of any of Murgadoss's earlier films. Shooting is expected to start next January. The most likely female lead for this action love story is Ghajini heroine Asin.
