Tees Maar Khan makers build airliner for Akki's action sequence

Akshay Kumar stunt atop a plane in Khiladi 420 years ago is still quite famous. Now, the actor is all set to do yet another action sequence in an airplane in Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan.

"We have constructed an actual Jumbo Jet at Film City for a very important sequence in Tees Maar Khan. The scene is Akshay's introductory shot in the film," said director Farah Khan.

"Akki, who plays a smart-alec, is being taken captive in the airplane and, how he outsmarts everyone and plans his escape forms the crux of the scene. He will be seen doing some really funny yet, deadly, action stunts in this particular scene. The scene also has VJ Mia along with her Chihuahua dog."

On being asked the cost of constructing a huge airplane, Farah said: "I can't reveal how much it exactly costs but yes, it did cost us a bomb. It's a beautiful Jumbo Jet with plush interiors. Our art director Sabu Cyril has done a fantastic job. In fact, if anyone wants to use a Jumbo Jet for a shoot they can contact me."
