'We
all
live
in
suspense
from
day
to
day
and
we
are
the
hero
of
our
own
story',
goes
a
famous
saying.
Well,
most
of
Bollywood's
potboilers
have
a
major
suspense
element
involved
in
it.
One
can
credit
the
success
of
this
genre
mainly
to
the
likes
of
Abbas
Mustan
and
gang.
The
latest
movie
that's
doing
the
rounds
with
its
suspense
element
intact
is
the
Akshay
Kumar-Ayesha
Takia
starrer
8
X
10
Tasveer,
that's
being
directed
by
the
talented
Nagesh
Kukunoor.
Rumours
have
already
started
doing
the
rounds
regarding
the
'unveiling'
of
the
film's
much-guarded
suspense.
Till,
now,
what
has
been
known
of
the
film
is
that
Akshay
Kumar,
who
plays
the
role
of
a
Forest
Ranger
called
Jai
Puri,
possesses
supernatural
powers.
And
how
a
personal
tragedy
leads
him
to
use
his
unique
supernatural
power
to
unravel
the
mystery
behind
the
murder.
Rumours
have
it
that
the
film
has
Akshay
Kumar
in
a
double
role,
of
which
one
is
a
sincere
Forest
Officer,
while
the
other
is
the
villain.
Since
both
of
them
get
separated
at
birth,
this
fact
remains
unknown
to
both
of
them.
While
their
mother
is
played
by
Sharmila
Tagore,
their
father
is
portrayed
by
the
versatile
Benjamin
Gilani.
The
actual
story
unfolds
when
Gilani
dies
and
the
subconscious
of
the
'hero'
Akshay
becomes
restless,
after
seeing
his
father's
photograph,
that's
of
the
size
'8
X
10',
thus
forming
the
film's
title
8
X
10
Tasveer.
Since
he
is
blessed
with
supernatural
powers,
he
becomes
dead
sure
that
his
father
was
murdered
and
that
he
just
did
not
die
a
natural
death.
Sharmila
Tagore
tries
her
level
best
to
convince
him
that
his
father
died
a
natural
death
since
she
was
besides
him
when
he
died.
But
the
subconscious
in
Akshay
refuses
to
agree
or
believe
a
word
of
this.
After
all
the
high
voltage
drama,
comes
the
revelation
(courtesy
the
'good'
Akshay)
that
his
father
was
indeed
murdered
by
the
'villain'
Akshay.
Now
whether
this
is
true
or
a
rumour,
only
time
will
tell.
