Akshay Kumar's avataar as a super-hero will be inspired by Hanuman

If Ajay Devgn can do it in Toonpur ka Super-hero and Shah Rukh Khan in Ra.1, Khatron ka Khiladi Akshay Kumar, who is considered one of the fittest and most athletic actors in B-town, cannot be left far behind.

Chuck gizmos and gadgets, Akshay wants the super-hero to be inspired by the Hindu mythological character

Akshay has been toying with idea of doing a super-hero film for a long time. "It's something that I've promised my son Aarav.

Not quite the Western model of a super-hero, but a super-hero more identifiable with our own culture, " says Akshay.

Reliable sources reveal that Akshay's super-hero epic would be part-mythological part-fantasy and Nikhil Advani will direct it.

Advani, with whom Akshay has collaborated on two projects in the past Chandni Chowk To China and the well-received Patiala House, said, "All I can say at the moment is that I'm going to cast Akshay as a full-on hero. He is the kind of guy that kids look up to as a protector.

He's complete super-hero material."

Says a source, "Akshay doesn't want to make his super-hero film a replica of Superman or Spiderman. He knows the original Hollywood super-heroes are now available in every Indian language including Bhojpuri.

He has asked his director to turn more to Hindu mythology for inspiration. The role-model for Akshay's super-hero would be Hanuman."

While the character is now being developed to accommodate Akshay's vision, the super-hero film would also mark the return of Akshay as a full-on action hero.

"He will perform a lot of his stunts himself. Somewhere down the line he began playing the goofy loser once too often. Son Aarav and wife Twinkle want him to play the super-hero, " a source revealed.

"The idea is not to take on Hollywood on their terms but to work our way around their USPs, " says Akshay sagely.
