Looking forward for the release of his film Khiladi 786, singer-composer-producer Himesh Reshammiya says Akshay Kumar is an ‘extraordinary” khiladi. “The ‘Khiladi’ franchise is very popular. And Akshay is coming back with a bang with it. The story is nice and fascinating. I must say that Akshay is extraordinary in the title role of ‘Khiladi’,” Himesh told PTI.

After string of action-comedy series ‘Khiladi’, like Khiladi (1992), Main Khiladi Tu Anari (1993), Sabse Bada Khiladi (1995), Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi (1996), Mr and Mrs Khiladi (1997), International Khiladi (1999) and Khiladi 420 (2000), which earned him the tag of ‘Khiladi of Bollywood’, Akshay is back with Khiladi 786, an action comedy.

Directed by debutant Ashish R Mohan (assistant director in Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal series), the film stars Akshay, Asin, Paresh Rawal and Himesh Reshammiya in the lead. “My company HR Music is producing it with Akshay’s Hari Om Entertainment. The film is releasing on December 7. The story and music are by me. The music will be very good and audience will love it,” Himesh claimed.
