"My crash course in martial arts is starting to pay off with the filming," said Ashish, who has opted for a new look for the yet-to-be-titled film.
The film casts Ashish with former MTV veejay Anusha Dandekar. The chirpy Anusha was last seen with Amitabh Bachchan and John Abraham in "Viruddh" last year.
Ashish is also gearing up for the June release of his romantic comedy "Kisse Pyaar Karoon", which also stars Arshad Warsi, Arti Chhabria and Udita Goswami.
