Bangalore: Get ready for yet another Akki blockbluster. Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is going to bowl over his fans once again with his new on-screen avatar that's never been presented to audiences before as he spearheads the stellar cast of 'Patiala House'. Produced by Hari Om Entertainment Company, People Tree Films and T-Series, 'Patiala House' is a universally appealing family drama that speaks of the cross-generational conflicts that arise from migration, resonating with today's multicultural society. It tells about family ties and duty, a yearning to follow one's dreams, and trying to make sense of the dichotomies that life presents when one's family has migrated to another land. Akshay plays role of a shop keeper from Southall, London with a dream to play cricket for England. Rishi Kapoor plays the role of his traditionalist father. Directed by Nikhil Advani (Kal Ho Na Ho, Salaam E Ishq), other leading talent in the film include starlet Anushka Sharma and veteran actress Dimple Kapadia. The film also features cricketers from the England, Australia, South Africa, India and Pakistan teams including three former England Captains - David Gower, Nasser Hussain and John Emburey. 'Patiala House' is set in Southall, London with 80 percent of filming having taken place across the UK. The film is releasing worldwide on 10th February 2011.
