Akshay helped me learn Marathi for 'Khiladi 786': Asin

Mumbai: Actress Asin Thottumkal had to learn Marathi for her upcoming film Khiladi 786 and says co-star Akshay Kumar was a great help. “I had to learn Marathi but Akshay was a great help because he speaks Marathi very fluently and all my dialogues have a Hindi accent with a little Maharashtrian touch and this is the first time I am playing such a character, an out-and-out Maharashtrian girl called Indu Tendulkar,” the 27-year-old said here while promoting the film at a mall.

I went all out for the character and hopefully it will have a good response,” she added. Asin’s last two films Housefull 2 and Bol Bachchan were superhits and she hopes Khiladi 786 turns out to be even a bigger hit. “Hopefully, keeping fingers crossed for a hat-trick. This year really has been very good for me with ‘Housefull 2’ and ‘Bol Bachchan’ doing really, really well. I hope ‘Khiladi 786’ follows and hopefully breaks the record of the last two ones and I am looking forward to that,” Asin said. Directed by Ashish R Mohan, “Khiladi 786” hits theatres Dec 7. IANS
