Friday, 23rd May 2014, 06:10 PM IST After hit film ‘Hera Pheri’, directed by Priyadarshan, changed Akshay Kumar’s career,the director-actor duo are set to team up once again, this June. Although the other collaborations like ‘De Dana Dan’ and ‘Khatta Meetha’ didn't quite match up with the ‘Hera Pheri’ success, Priyadarshan feels that the collaborative chemistry between him and Akshay will work wonders this time. "So far Priyan's films with Akshay have all been time-pass comedies, and all of them have been remakes. This time Akshay has asked Priyan to do a film that has tremendous socio-political significance. Both Akshay and Priyan are done with remakes. So on Akshay's request Priyan is writing an original film this time,"says a source. Priyadarshan confirms, "Yes, I am doing a hard-hitting subject with Akshay. I think we both need to move out of our comfort zones. My film this time with Akshay would be topical and original." "I am aware my recent films have not worked in Hindi. Akshay and I have done many hits ‘Hera Pheri’, ‘Garam Masala’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiya’, among others. We are going to tap our collaborative chemistry in unexpected ways this time," said the director, pointing out that it will be his comeback to Bollywood.
