Actor
Akshay
Kumar,
who
has
taken
over
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbaai
from
Emraan
Hashmi
and
Ajay
Devgn
in
the
sequel,
says
he
is
completely
relying
on
director
Milan
Luthria
for
the
movie,
which
will
see
him
in
a
role
inspired
by
Dawood
Ibrahim.
The
actor
is
gearing
up
for
another
busy
year
this
time
with
four
releases
-
Housefull
2,
Rowdy
Rathore,
Joker
and
OUATIM
2.
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbaai
was
a
hit,
thanks
to
the
chemistry
between
Ajay
Devgn
and
Emraan
Hashmi
and
Akshay
hopes
to
replicate
the
film's
box
office
performance
in
the
sequel
too.
"I
have
to
live
up
to
the
hype,
the
brand
name,
the
sequel
and
the
fact
that
the
story
has
to
be
even
more
interesting
than
the
already
brilliant
story
that
has
been
told
in
2010," Akshay
told
PTI.
Akshay
Kumar
added,
"I
am
extremely
excited
about
this
film
and
I
know
for
a
fact
that
Milan
Luthria
will
do
a
fantastic
job.
A
great
director
that
he
is,
what
can
I
say
but
the
fact
that
my
future
is
in
his
hands
now."
The
44-year-old
will
be
seen
in
action
mode
again
with
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
production
Rowdy
Rathore,
which
will
see
him
wearing
a
moustache
after
a
long
time.
The
film
is
directed
by
choreographer-turned-filmmaker
Prabhu
Deva.
