Superstar Akshay Kumar is certainly at the best phase of his career. His comic films have reaped gold at the box office. With each release he is becoming a bigger star both in India and the Overseas. His stupendous commercial success gives him an edge above the rest. Also he has been instrumental in establishing new directors like Abbas-Mustan, Vipul Shah and now Sajid Khan proving them with a hit in their debut ventures. His recent release 'Heyy Babyy' is the second best commercial film of the year after 'Partner' garnering an impressive 25-crore plus in the very first week of its run in India.

Akshay has risen from an action star to a comedy star. His success has shut the mouth of his detractors who had some doubt about his acting skills. Today his profile focuses that he has succeeded in almost all genres of movies. And that's the reason may be Ram Gopal Varma is taking a closer look at him. The arrogant filmmaker had sometime before quipped that Akki's emotional acting made him laugh! But now he has signed him for a film on the underworld. Akshay has nodded for Anees Bazmee project 'Singh Is King'. In the film he initially plays a clean-shaven Sikh who later turns a menacing underworld ganglord. The movie buffs will certainly like this Akshay's different take once again!
