MUMBAI : Perfect Strangers, an Italian comedy-drama from 2016, is purportedly being remade in Akshay Kumar's next film, Khel Khel Mein. The movie centers on seven friends who decide to play a phone game that reveals their lies and dark secrets.
This causes friendships and marital ties to break down and sends a powerful message about how sometimes the people you trust the most can actually be strangers. In an interview with the well-known news website, Akshay discusses his reaction if his wife, Twinkle Khanna, saw his personal messages.
“I wouldn’t be scared if I had to show my phone to my partner. My phone lies around with my staff members. At home, it’s always lying around, charging. I’ve got nothing to hide," the Bade Miyan Chote Miyan star said.
However, he quips that it could still make for an interesting game. “This game will be more fun than an outdoor game because outdoor games don’t give you the same kind of adrenaline rush. A phone game requires mental effort. You’ve got to be constantly on your toes, thinking about what to do next if your partner or friends have read your personal messages," Akshay remarks.
Khel Khel Mein revolves around relationships and explores the stories of three married couples at different stages and circumstances in their lives. Akshay plays the role of a middle-aged man who, despite being the glue among them, is going through a rocky marriage himself. When asked if he would like to offer any tips on marriage, he says, “I don’t want to give any tips to anyone. Everyone should learn through their own experiences in life. But marriage is a beautiful circle of life."
The actor continues, “Everyone needs to go through it and gain an understanding of it rather than looking up to me or anyone else for advice. My experiences won’t matter to someone else because everyone has their own mindset and temperament. So, it’s better to go through the grind, learn from your own mistakes, and move forward in your relationship."
However, Akshay is renowned for his sharp sense of humor and is all set to act as Vaani Kapoor's wingman in Khel Khel Mein. Turning to her and teasing, he says, “I have someone in mind for you. If I bring him to you, will you marry him? Woh tera khoon nahi karega, but bahot sukoon dega (laughs). I can guarantee you that he will bring you a lot of peace. But you’ve got to marry him. You can’t say you need to meet him first or connect with him!"
Fardeen Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Aditya Seal, Ammy Virk, and Pragya Jaiswal are also featured in Khel Khel Mein. Mudassar Aziz's film is scheduled to debut in competition at the box office on August 15 alongside Vedaa, starring John Abraham and Sharvari, and Stree 2, starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor.
