If
one
thought
that
Akshay
Kumar
would
be
going
through
nervous
bouts
or
would
be
over
excited
about
his
newest
release
Tees
Maar
Khan,
that
is
not
really
the
case
at
all.
Cool,
calm
and
composed,
Akshay
is
not
quite
going
gaga
even
though
the
release
of
this
Farah
Khan
directed
film
holds
a
special
place
in
his
heart.
Also,
while
there
are
massive
speculations
in
the
trade
about
Tees
Maar
Khan
taking
an
all
time
biggest
opening
ever,
Akshay
is
still
not
willing
to
jump
the
gun.
Instead
he
is
adopting
a
wait
and
watch
approach
and
is
only
expecting
audience
to
be
thoroughly
entertained
with
this
fun
film
which
pairs
him
opposite
entire
nation's
'Sheila'
-
Katrina
Kaif.
Our
correspondent
catches
up
with
the
man
for
whom
Tees
Maar
Khan
is
pretty
much
a
return
to
a
mad
masala
outing
after
Housefull,
Khatta
Meetha
and
Action
Replayy.
Tees
Maar
Khan
is
your
first
full-fledged
masala
film
after
a
really
long
time.
Were
you
too
missing
that
genre
for
a
while
now?
Come
on,
you
make
it
sound
like
I
have
been
doing
'art'
films
all
through
the
year
(winks).
You
are
right
in
saying
though
that
Tees
Maar
Khan
is
a
'Masala
Hamming
Madness'
to
be
honest.
That's
the
reason
why
I
loved
every
day
that
I
was
making
this
film
and
it
shows.
You
can
tell
my
love
for
the
character
of
Tees
Maar
Khan.
Plus
the
music
of
this
film
is
constantly
playing
in
my
car.
My
family
is
so
excited
about
seeing
the
film.
This
movie
has
literally
put
a
permanent
smile
on
my
face;
something
that
no
one
can
remove
no
matter
what
the
outcome
may
be.
I
love
my
job
first,
way
before
what
successes
it
can
bring
me.
You
and
Farah
are
known
for
being
lovers
of
masala
films.
Did
that
too
play
a
major
role
in
a
bonding
being
developed
between
the
two
of
you?
Most
definitely!
We
are
more
like
people
pleasers
rather
than
award
seekers.
That
is
what
we
both
believe
in
and
hence
the
mutual
bond
that
we
share.
Farah
has
a
very
good
eye
for
making
her
imagination
turn
into
a
reality.
She
can
create
what
only
you
and
I
dream
of.
This
is
the
reason
why
the
masses
love
her.
She
connects
with
them
because
she
understands
them.
She
is
not
selfish
when
she
makes
movies;
everything
she
does
is
to
please
an
average
eye.
Our
aim
is
to
entertain
rather
than
hear
people
complain.
Yes,
people
did
complain
in
case
of
Action
Replayy.
The
thing
is
that
I
totally
understand
why
that
happened
and
in
all
honesty,
a
huge
part
of
me
felt
that
people
wouldn't
like
my
look
in
this
film.
Most
people
want
to
see
a
Hero
when
they
go
to
the
cinema
and
I
don't
blame
them.
It
must
be
ironic
though
that
Action
Replayy
was
one
film
which
got
you
maximum
critical
acclaim
this
year
but
didn't
see
much
for
it
commercially.
I
know.
I
was
finally
given
four
stars
by
one
of
Mumbai's
finest
journalists
but
the
audience
wasn't
interested
(sighs).
Action
Replayy
was
a
lovely
story
but
not
all
stories
get
remembered.
Vipul
(Shah)
is
a
brilliant
director
and
my
faith
in
him
and
his
work
still
stands
strong,
as
does
his
in
mine.
Meanwhile
you
seem
to
be
going
ahead
full
steam
in
2011
as
well,
what
with
Patiala
House,
Thank
You,
Joker
and
Desi
Boyz
to
release
one
after
another.
Yeah!
If
all
goes
according
to
plans,
I
should
have
four
releases
lined
up
for
next
year.
Busy
as
always
but
totally
worth
it
(smiles).
I
have
an
array
of
characters
for
all
in
2011
and
all
I
can
pray
for
is
your
love
and
support
not
only
for
me
but
for
our
industry.
In
fact
that's
already
happening,
now
that
Tees
Maar
Khan
is
releasing.
While
everyone
is
waiting
with
bated
breath
to
see
how
far
does
it
go,
trade
pundits
have
declared
that
the
film
would
open
even
better
than
Dabangg
and
hence
turn
out
to
be
the
biggest
opener
ever
in
the
history
of
Bollywood.
You
believe
in
such
declarations?
You
are
most
definitely
asking
the
wrong
actor!
I
would
never
sit
here
&
say
'My
movie
is
going
to
rock;
it's
going
to
have
the
biggest
opening
ever'
and
all
that
jazz.
I
am
way
too
experienced
or
should
I
say
'not
stupid
enough'
to
toot
my
own
horn
or
my
movie
like
that.
Expectations
are
the
stomach
bug
of
all
movies.
Tees
Maar
Khan
is
what
it
is
and
I
pray
that
people
love
it
for
its
entertainment
quotient.
It
sure
isn't
an
Avatar
but
it's
a
'Con
comedy'
for
sure.
