'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' is a pyscho thriller: Akshay Kumar

After a string of hits at the box-office Akshay Kumar is excited over his upcoming release Bhool Bhulaiyaa in which he is plays a very different kind of role.

The Priyadarshan -directed movie, Akshay says, is a psycho thriller and is based on the subject which has never been taken up by any director on the screen.

"I mean when we switch on any channel of TV we get to listen lots of stories related to ghosts, witches and supernatural powers. We have grown up listening such stories. My film is an attempt to spread an awareness that there is no existence of ghosts and what most of us believe is our superstition", Akshay says.

"It is not a comedy as some people are guessing it to be after watching the promos on television channels," he says.

"The film is actually a tug of war between the superstition and science and an attempt to educate people about superstition," he says.

"Log babon ke pass jaatey haien, jisko problem hai usko peeta jaata hai (people visit quacks and the one who is suffering is beaten). I think in an educated society such things needs to be stopped," Akshay says.

The film was extensively shot in Rajasthan especially in Jaipur. Rajasthan's picturesque locales have always appealed filmmakers and in our story we need backdrop of Rajasthan.

The film is releasing this Friday, October 12 and also stars Vidya Balan , Shiney Ahuja , Paresh Rawal and Amisha Patel .

About the success of Sajid Khan directed Heyy Babyy which has put the cash counters jingling at the box office, Akshay says, "The reason why people liked this film because there have been any number of 'Maa ki mamta' (mother's love for a child) films. This was a film that has advocated that a child needs mother the most but he also needs a father. I think this clicked with the audiences."

Today, in India every film buff spends a big chunk of his income to watch films. A film which is a combination of drama, comedy and some lighter moments is always a pleasant change for the cinemagoers.

Delhi's Chandani Chowk's boy Akshay still misses his childhood and younger days, but despite his hectic schedules he is now excited to get some kind of revival of his childhood days.

"I am doing a film titled 'Chandani Chowk to China' which is based on my true life story. I am very excited with this project as doing this film actually taking me back to my past to the streets I belonged to, " Akshay says.
