Is
it
a
comedy?
Or
is
Akshay
Kumar
back
in
action
for
Housefull
2?
According
to
sources
the
script
for
the
sequel
has
devised
some
of
the
scariest
action
sequences
ever.
Apparently,
Akshay's
introductory
stunt
in
Housefull
2
would
be
directed
by
Robert
Alonzo
who
is
Tom
Cruise's
stunt
co-ordinator
in
Mission
Impossible
4.
Forget
the
nerd
who
gets
conned
into
marriage
by
a
woman
who
elopes
with
her
boyfriend
on
their
honeymoon.
Akshay
is
done
with
his
nerdy
avatar.
According
to
a
reliable
source,
in
Housefull
2,
he
plays
a
character
twice
as
wicked,
destructive
and
devilish
as
the
one
he
played
in
the
Sajid
Nadiadwala's
production
Mujhse
Shaadi
Karogi.
According
to
a
source,
Akshay's
character
in
Housefull
2
is
an
extension
of
the
smartass
who
dupes
Salman
Khan
in
Mujhse
Shaadi
Karogi
than
the
wimp
who
loses
love
each
time
in
Housefull.
Akshay
Kumar's
nerdy
act
done
to
facetious
heights
in
a
spate
of
recent
comedies
has
come
to
an
end.
He
will
no
longer
play
the
loser
on
screen.
For
starters,
in
the
sequel
to
Housefull,
his
role
has
apparently
gone
back
to
the
storyboard.
The
Golmaal
writers
Sajid-Farhad
have
been
roped
in
to
write
the
part
of
a
"cool
comic
lothario,
like
a
Bond-meets-Devgn-in-Golmaal."
Sajid
Khan
doesn't
deny
the
James
Bond
influence
on
Housefull
2.
"We've
really
enhanced
the
cool
quotient
for
Akshay
in
Housefull
2.The
Akshay
that
you'll
see
in
Housefull
2
has
never
been
seen
before."
So
is
Akshay
a
'Kameena
James
Bond'
in
Housefull
2?
Laughs
Sajid
Khan,
"If
Akshay
played
a
'Sad
Sack'
in
Housefull,
he
plays
the
coolest
character
of
his
career
in
Housefull
2.Yes,
James
Bond
is
a
deep
influence
on
me.
As
a
child
I
remember
seeing
exotic
countries
as
location
in
the
Bond
films."
