Both Aamir and Akshay are among the most bankable actors in the Hindi film industry with a very high success rate. It would be interesting to see who wins the Box Office battle when the two stars clash on the ticket window.

Akshay is seen in a black lungi, gold chains around his neck, a nunchuck in his hand and with vibhuti and kumkum on his forehead. He is sporting an intense expression and his look appears to be inspired from down South.
