Akshay Kumar can make us laugh as easily as he can beat the baddies to pulp on the big screen. No wonder, the superstar enjoys an immense fan-following. Over the last few years, the actor has been on a spree of signing films one after the other.

A source close to the development told Pinkvilla, "Ekta and Raaj took off to Jaisalmer via a private charter jet, and stayed at the same hotel as Akshay and team Bachchan Pandey. They went there to discuss an out and out comedy with the actor, and he is said to have loved the idea and has asked the team to come up with a bound screenplay. Having wrapped up three films in the last 4 months, he is now looking to form a line up for the next two years, and is constantly discussing films with probable collaborators."

The report further stated that over the last two months, 15 to 16 producers flew down to Jaisalmer to discuss a possible collaboration with Akshay. The superstar is currently in the process of streamlining the scripts offered to him.
