Akshay Kumar's first release in 2011 will be Patiala House with Anushka Sharma opposite him. The interesting thing is that Akshay will be working with his saasu jee Dimple Kapadia also in this movie. Another interesting fact is that Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia will act together also once again after some time.
Patiala House is the story of a Sikh joint family. Four generations of the Kahlon family live together, in a suburban house in London. When one first hears about this movie you connect Akshay Kumar and a large family of Sikhs living under one roof.
Patiala means big (often used to signify Patiala peg by whiskey drinkers.) In our case it signifies a fourth generation Sikh household in Southall, London, UK. A house with 22 members both young and old ruled by an autocratic and big headed Gurtej Singh Kahlon (Rishi Kapoor.) A house where the disparity in thought between the younger and older generation has reached a simmering boiling point and mutiny, rebellion is round the corner. How a 34-year-old ex cricketer who has been forced to sacrifice his dreams for his fathers ideals is given a second chance to see it getting fulfilled.
Says Director Nikhil Advani, "The essence of Patiala House is pursuing your dream when life gives you a second chance. In this pursuit, Akshay happens to be a cricketer, but he could've been a musician or a poet. It can be your story or mine. Patiala House is the story of the Kahlon family, and their travails."
Patiala House releases on the 11th of February.
