Filmmaker Suneel Darshan, who directed Akshay Kumar in films like Jaanwar, Ek Rishtaa , Talaash: The Hunt Begins and Mere Jeevan Saathi, says the National Award winning actor is very disciplined and fun loving as a person.

"Working with Akshay has always been a great experience. He is disciplined and fun loving at the same time," Suneel said.

"After 15 flops at the box office Akshay made a comeback with Jaanwar, strengthened his position with Ek Rishtaa and skyrocketed after Andaaz. I have launched many newcomers like Karisma Kapoor, Miss Universe Lara Dutta, Miss World Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor opposite Akshay Kumar."

"I am excited to see the audience's response. It is the same feeling one gets when a film is about to hit the theatres. I am hopeful of receiving greater adulation than we did during the theatrical release," he added.
