Khakee

Raj Kumar Santoshi is back in limelight with 'Khakee', a film which harnesses the talent of top Bollywood actors.

The movie hits off with the plot of shifting an ISI terrorist Iqbal Ansari (Atul Kulkarni) from Chandanghad to Mumbai.

The escort team of police officers is ambushed midway, blown to bits. But a brave officer manages to ensure that Ansari doesn't escape. Now another team is sent to do the job.

The leader of the team is DCP Anant Shrivastav "The Professor" (Amitabh Bachchan). The officer, in the winter of his career, is a failure in the eyes of the establishment and more important in his own. This is his one last chance to prove himself.

Street-smart, brave but rotten to the core, Sr. Inspector Shekhar Sachdev (Akshay Kumar) is also forced in the mission. He doesn't want to be a part of any suicide mission, but has no choice.

The third on the list is Sub-Inspector Ashwin Gupte (Tusshar Kapoor), a young middle class rookie officer on his first serious assignment. He is going to find out the hard way that there is a massive difference between training school and the ground reality of the harsh, corrupt and a violent world out there.

These three officers accompanied by two constables are now given the charge of escorting the dreaded terrorist and a crucial witness.

But someone out there doesn't want them to get to Mumbai. A nameless, faceless enemy who is always one step ahead of them and would do anything to stop them.

Thus, a three-day assignment becomes a never-ending nightmare.

It's a journey into fear where nothing is as it seems, everyone is for sale and no one can be trusted.... not even yourself.

The film also stars Aishwarya Rai and Tanuja in pivotal roles. Ajay Devgan plays Inspector Angere, the mystery man in the pack. Jaya Prada puts in an appearance alongside Big B after a long hiatus.

Continuing his penchant for item numbers, Santoshi has roped in Lara Dutta this time around who sizzles in the "Aisa Jadoo" track.
