Taking a cue from the Hollywood hit, 'Face Off', Ad-man Rakesh Mehra is all set to dish out his first directional debut in Bollywood-- Aks. Positioned for release on July 13, Aks casts Big B Amitabh trying to re-do a John Travolta.
Though a full screening of the movie would decide it's actual ratings, promos currently blazing the small screens are without doubt portraying their trump card, Bachchan, in a never-before motion in his till-now not so eventful Second Coming.
Mehra, who is better known for directing Bachchan's popular music video based on pure Allahabadi dialect, 'Eer Beer, Phatte...', is reeling out the movie with the ABCL banner. Looked by many as ABCL's yet another try at bringing back the bankrupt company into float, the thriller movie has a taste of versatile lyricist Gulzar joining hands with Anu Mailk for the first time besides ravishing Raveena doing a saucy number, which is fast climbing up the music charts.
Aks also would be the first commercial platform for Delhiite Nandita Das of Fire and Earth fame in the garb of Bachchan's young wife. Talented Manoj Bajpai, donning the role performed by Nicolas Cage in Face Off, masquerades as 'Bindas' cop, Bachchan, by wearing a mask and thereby takes everyone for a ride.
Plus, adding spice to it is an expert from UK who has the credit of working for Hollywood blockbusters The Mummy and Star Wars to supervise the entire copy.
