Trust Akshay Kumar to always be on the move. He may have begun his family vacation with a tour to USA and planned to spend a month away from the monsoons of Mumbai. However it has proven to be difficult for his family to pin the 'khiladi' down, as he has engaged himself with work all over again even during his holiday. While he dubbed for the brand new Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara trailer, he also ended up devoting quite some time to a press conference and media interviews.
"It wasn't entirely planned this way though," informs a source. "Akshay takes two family holidays in a year. One in June and the other in December during Christmas. He keeps work completely out of bounds during his breaks and rarely does he make an exception. This was one of the times he made an exception because he is very excited about OUATIMD. It is an important film for him. So when director Milan Luthria decided to fly to New York to get Akshay to do a voice-over for the new trailer of OUATIMD, Kumar immediately agreed."
It was a sudden decision though when Milan and Balaji senior officials took an impromptu call to use his voice in the film's second trailer. The core idea was to showcase Akshay’s character as the villain and how he revels in being evil. When Milan explained the concept to Akshay and how it would require a voice-over from him to establish the quintessential Hero vs. Villain tussle, Akshay readily gave the green signal.
"Balaji hired a sound studio in Manhattan close to the Plaza Apartments where Akshay was staying," the source states, "In fact, Milan was also booked at the famous Plaza Hotel so that he would be in close proximity to Akshay. Balaji went a step ahead and even got a press conference organized at the same hotel to make use of Milan and Akshay being together in NYC."
Meanwhile, Akshay is now in Bangkok and shooting for Its Entertainment. He would be returning to India later next week and then pronto start promotion for Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara.
The man is indeed on a move!
