Akshay needs a Shortcut break 
Akshaye Khanna is shooting in Bangkok for Neeraj Vora's Shortcut and says he is missing home and desperately looking for a break. “I need a quick break to visit Mumbai. I'm homesick. If I get a break of two-three days, I’ll go back. So far we get only one day off every 10 days. That isn’t enough to dash in and dash out," Akshay said. Basking in the blockbuster opening of his new film Race, Akshaye is all praise for Vohra. “He wrote all my films for Priyadarshan. So I know Neeraj very well. I’m thoroughly enjoying myself."
He reluctantly talks about Shortcut, saying, "The film has a lot of theatre actors. It's a character-based energetic film. I like doing energetic films. In Race, I worked on investing gusto to my character. That’s why I enjoy working with Abbas-Mustan. They give me the freedom to make the best use of my space as an actor." What about the rapport with his co-stars? "Race isn’t the first multi-starrer I’ve done. It’s never easy to find proper space for all the actors in a cluttered cast. It takes people like Abbas-Mustan to come up with a script that justifies everyone’s presence."
Akshaye was more than happy to be reunited with Saif Ali Khan. "Saif and I had a fantastic time during Dil Chahta Hai. And let’s not forget we also spent a lot of time together during J.P. Dutta’s LOC." Akshaye’s next release would be a Priyadarshan comedy Mere Baap Pehle Aap. "I’m in it with Paresh Rawal. It's one of those films that will put a smile on everyone’s face."
