Katz, Akki to sizzle in sky

MUMBAI: For those who cribbed about Akshay Kumar being without a leading lady in Blue, here’s news. The film’s sequel will feature Katriana Kaif, who had eight-minute role opposite Zayed Khan, this time round with Akshay.

The story brings together Akshay and Katrina , Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta, and Zayed Khan with a new leading lady - Neha Uberoi, who is Sanjay’s business manager, Dharam Uberoi’s daughter.

The film is likely to be titled Aasman (Akshay’s suggestion) and a role is being written for John Abraham who will have Sonal Chauhan cast opposite him. Director Tony D’Souza said, “I really want to work with John. All I can say is the producers are ready to back me with my next project with the same budget as Blue. It will start off as an undersea adventure and then move to the sky.” The producers are likely to host a huge bash soon where the sequel will be announced.
