Bollywood
star
Akshay
Kumar
is
ready
with
his
first
release
for
this
year
Patiala
House,
which
will
be
hitting
the
theaters
on
February
11.
The
promos
of
the
film
suggest
that
it
is
going
to
be
a
hit
for
Akshay,
who
has
faced
consecutive
three
failures
in
2010
with
Khatta
Meetha,
Action
Replayy
and
Tees
Maar
Khan.
Patiala
House
will
make
Askhay
Kumar,
the
real
'khiladi" as
he
plays
an
aspiring
cricketer
in
this
film.
His
character
is
supposedly
based
on
a
real
life
cricketer
Monty
Panesar,
who
became
the
first
Sikh
representing
England
in
cricket.
This
film
also
brings
Akshay
and
his
real
life
mom-in-law
Dimple
Kapadia
on
one
screen
as
she
plays
his
reel
mother
in
the
film.
Rishi
Kapoor
will
be
seen
playing
his
father,
who
is
very
tough
with
his
principles.
Patiala
House
will
also
see
first
time
pairing
of
Anushka
Sharma
and
Akshay
Kumar
and
they
are
expected
to
rock
the
screen
both
being
Punjabis
in
real
life.
The
film
is
set
in
London,
where
four
generations
of
the
Kahlon
family
live
together
in
a
suburban
house.
Akshay
plays
the
lead
character,
who
had
to
sacrifice
his
dream
of
becoming
a
cricketer
and
gets
a
second
chance
to
fulfill
that
dream
later.
Director
Nikhil
Advani
says
that
Akshay"s
character
is
not
inspired
by
only
one
person
as
they
did
a
thorough
research
on
the
cricketers
of
Patiala
House.
We
hope,
the
Khiladi
of
Bollywood,
Akshay
Kumar
starts
this
year
with
high
score
with
Patiala
House.
