But we really don't know what to make of TV stars playing filmi superstars. Case in point: Aamir Ali playing Akshay Kumar in Karan Johar's production of Punit Malhotra's I Hate Luv Storys.
The character is called Rajeev Kumar. The film is based on the film industry and the role shows Rajeev as someone who is extremely fond of women and has a roving eye. He is star who does comedy films.
Sounds like a mix of the new and old Akki.
Fun Fact: Akshay Kumar's birth name is Rajeev Bhatia.
