Mumbai: A gifted taskmaster, who has enriched Bollywood with his movie-making skills treating audiences to his subtle yet power-packed flicks like ‘Omkara’ and ‘Maqbool’, Vishal Bhardwaj is on top of the wish list of several top-notch actors.

The director whose film ‘Kaminey’ is all set to hit theaters has now caught the fancy of Akshay Kumar. And if things go as planned then ‘Khiladi Kumar’ will be next seen playing the lead in magic weaver Bhardwaj’s upcoming venture.

And it’s not only Akshay, who is inclined to work with Bhardwaj. If sources are to be believed then the admiration is mutual, in fact, it was Bhardwaj who had been trying to work with Akshay even before he planned ‘Maqbool’.

Confirming the news, Akshay told a news daily, “Vishal did come to me and we’ve spoken. Let’s see what happens. I’d love to work with him. His films are so real yet so entertaining. ‘Kaminey’ is looking good.”

As to whether a film with Bhardwaj, be any different than Akki’s usual choice of films, the actor said, “I don’t believe in (differentiating) between commercial and off beat cinema. I also don’t think we can compartmentalise films into good or bad films. What works at the Box-Office is a good film. What gets rejected is obviously not good enough.”

Well, with his recent potboilers being blasted by critics we are sure Bhardwaj will be able to give the actor a meaningful film to fall back on.
