After a dramatic movie and then an action thriller, Bollywood star Akshaye Khanna will next be seen in Priyadarshan’s comedy ‘Mere Baap Pehle Aap,’ which will hit Indian theaters on June 13.

Regarding his upcoming flick, Akshaye said, “After a long time a good comedy film has come, I am very happy with it and looking forward to it.”

The film also stars Genelia D’Souza, Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav and Paresh Rawal.

Akshaye said that he wanted to be a part of the comic movie as the script attracted him.

“Apart from the storyline of Mere Baap being unique, I share a very good rapport with the director, Priyadarshan, even though our first project Doli Sajake Rakhna was a disaster. He complements me as an actor. Generally the trend is that if the first movie doesn’t do well, then actors don’t prefer to work with the director or vice versa but it was not the case with Priyadarshan. After four years, we worked together again and enjoyed the experience,” he said.

About co-star Genelia D’Souza, he said, “She is extremely sweet and a thorough professional. She fits the role. Unlike those who try to ape others, she has got her own style of acting.”

Akshaye said that he and Paresh had a great time together, but it was lots of work and not much play: “The two of us had the house on fire. We used to chat for long hours. Apart from that, there was no scope for fun on Priyadarshan’s sets as we only worked and shot on a very fast pace.”

The story of the movie revolves around Akshaye who looks out for an eligible bride for his father. So on the film reel he is looking for a wife for his father and perhaps finds it for himself, but about marriage for real he said, “No never maybe.”

But about his marriage plans for real he said, “No never maybe.”

In the pipleline, Akshaye has Shortkut-The Con with Amrita Rao but he said, “It’s too early to talk about it.”
