Actor-producer Akshay Kumar Saturday unveiled the trailer of "The Shaukeens" in the presence of the film`s entire starcast.

"I am playing myself in the film and the only thing that was added in my character was that I was shown as an alcoholic in the movie which is different from my real life character. I had a great time shooting for this film," he told reporters at the event.

Directed by Abhishek Sharma and written by Tigmanshu Dhulia, "The Shaukeens" is a remake of cult classic film "Shaukeen" and features Annu Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Piyush Mishra, Anupam Kher and Lisa Haydon.
