Akshay
Kumar
has
been
on
a
streak
of
pushing
boundaries
when
it
comes
to
choosing
out
of
the
box
roles.
The
superstar
has
a
number
of
releases
lined
up
for
this
year,
but
one
of
them
is
as
unique
as
it
can
get.
Akshay
will
be
playing
a
man
who
is
possessed
by
the
ghost
of
a
transgender
in
Laxmmi
Bomb.
In
October
last
year,
his
first
look
from
the
film
caught
everyone's
attention
as
he
donned
a
saree
while
glaring
fiercely
into
the
camera.
Akshay
says
he
is
very
comfortable
in
a
saree,
and
admitted
that
his
character
in
Laxmmi
Bomb
is
one
of
the
most
difficult
till
date.
Speaking
to
Mid-Day,
Akshay
said,
"I
am
comfortable
in
a
sari
and
had
no
problem
shooting
in
it.
I
love
doing
tricky
stuff.
It
is
one
of
the
most
difficult
characters
I
have
played.
I
had
to
internalise
the
character
and
get
the
body
language
right."
Apart
from
Akshay,
Laxmmi
Bomb
also
stars
Kiara
Advani,
Tusshar
Kapoor,
Tarun
Arora
and
others.
The
film
is
a
remake
of
a
hit
Tamil
film,
Muni
2:
Kanchana.
It
is
directed
by
Raghava
Lawrrence
who
has
also
directed
the
Tamil
version.
Some
time
back,
the
film
stirred
a
controversy
when
director
Raghava
decided
to
quit
the
film
on
account
of
a
fallout
with
the
makers.
When
Akshay
intervened,
he
was
reinstated
as
the
director.
Regarding
this,
Akshay
said
that
he
has
no
idea
what
happened,
but
Raghava
spoke
to
Shabina
Khan,
the
producer,
and
sorted
out
the
issue.
They
started
shooting
the
film,
and
no
one
has
mentioned
the
incident
since
then.
Akshay
added
that
he
respects
Raghava
a
lot,
and
hails
him
as
one
of
the
finest
directors
in
the
horror
genre.
