"I'm really happy that we will be releasing 'Tees Maar Khan' on Dec 24, Christmas Eve 2010. It is a very kid-friendly, holiday season kind of film, full of fun, big dance numbers and action comedy. It's just the kind of film you'd want to watch in the holidays," Farah said in a statement.
The decision on the film's release date was taken by Farah's home production Three's Company Pvt Ltd and Akshay Kumar's Hari Om Productions, which is co-producing the movie.
Farah, whose last film was "Om Shanti Om", is still filming "Tees Maar Khan" and Akshay says audiences will be in for a treat.

Most of the films released during Christmas like "Welcome", "Ghajini" and "3 Idiots" have been runaway successes. The combination of ace director and choreographer Farah Khan, Bollywood's box office king Akshay Kumar and the gorgeous Katrina Kaif is expected to priovide a real treat to the audience, said an industry insider.
