More than his victory on "Bigg Boss 3", it is his association with Bollywood star Akshay Kumar that is spinning gold for actor Vindu Dara Singh.

Vindu has been struggling in Bollywood for a long time, but ever since Akshay has taken him under his wings, lady luck is smiling at him.

After working in "Kambakkht Ishq", Vindu became good friends with Akshay, who advised him not to feature in small roles in TV serials and small budget films.

Vindu even shared screen space with Akshay in Sajid Khan's "Housefull", and is now teaming up with him again for Anees Bazmee's film "Thank You".

The actor has flown to Toronto, Canada, to shoot for the film, produced by UTV Motion Pictures.

"Thank You" also features Sonam Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Irrfan Khan, Celina Jaitley and Rimi Sen. It will release next year.
