Is it a comedy? Or is Akshay Kumar back in action for Housefull 2? According to sources the script for the sequel has devised some of the scariest action sequences ever. Apparently, Akshay's introductory stunt in Housefull 2 would be directed by Robert Alonzo who is Tom Cruise's stunt co-ordinator in Mission Impossible 4.
Forget the nerd who gets conned into marriage by a woman who elopes with her boyfriend on their honeymoon. Akshay is done with his nerdy avatar. According to a reliable source, in Housefull 2, he plays a character twice as wicked, destructive and devilish as the one he played in the Sajid Nadiadwala's production Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. According to a source, Akshay's character in Housefull 2 is an extension of the smartass who dupes Salman Khan in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi than the wimp who loses love each time in Housefull.
Akshay Kumar's nerdy act done to facetious heights in a spate of recent comedies has come to an end. He will no longer play the loser on screen. For starters, in the sequel to Housefull, his role has apparently gone back to the storyboard. The Golmaal writers Sajid-Farhad have been roped in to write the part of a "cool comic lothario, like a Bond-meets-Devgn-in-Golmaal."
Sajid Khan doesn't deny the James Bond influence on Housefull 2. "We've really enhanced the cool quotient for Akshay in Housefull 2.The Akshay that you'll see in Housefull 2 has never been seen before."
So is Akshay a 'Kameena James Bond' in Housefull 2?
Laughs Sajid Khan, "If Akshay played a 'Sad Sack' in Housefull, he plays the coolest character of his career in Housefull 2.Yes, James Bond is a deep influence on me. As a child I remember seeing exotic countries as location in the Bond films."

If Shahrukh Khan is gearing up to woo the audience with the scary stunts in 'Don 2', then hunky Akshay Kumar is all set to give some thrills to his share of fans in 'Housefull 2'. If reports are to be believed then it appears that the Sajid Khan flick will boast of some adrenaline-pumping action sequences.
The introductory scene of Akshay in the film is, apparently, being directed by Robert Alonzo who is the stunt-coordinator of Hollywood actor Tom Cruise in 'Mission Impossible 4.' Akshay may have portrayed a nerdy character in 'Housefull' where his wimpy avatar loses love each time but that won't be the case in its sequel.
Rather, he would be rendering a character which is devilish and smart much like the one in 'Mujhse Shaadi Karoge' where Akshay smartly duped Salman. Akshay has, of late, essayed the nerdy act in a number of comedies but 'Housefull 2' puts a full stop to his silly mavericks and portrays him as the cool dude type.
In fact, his character has been slightly influenced by James Bond. Sajid Khan reveals that Akshay's cool quotient has been drastically enhanced in 'Housefull 2' and the viewers would get to see the kind of Akshay never seen before on screen.
We just hope that we get to see a better Akshay than what we saw in the dud 'Tees Maar Khan'.
