Akshay Kumar says that he produced the forthcoming Marathi film Chumbak as it touched his heart.

Having been partners in rhyme for almost a decade now, from Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi to Parineeta to Lage Raho Munnabhai to <em>3 Idiots</em>, music director Shantanu Moitra and lyricist Swanand Kirkire have made a name for themselves as a force to reckon with. And now they have teamed up in a Bengali film <em>Paanch Adhyay</em>. The film, incidentally, is not only Dia Mirza’s first Bengali film, it is also the first Bengali film that the pair of Shantanu and Swanand will team up for.
