Twelve years after he played the con man in Khiladi 420 way back in 2000, comes Khiladi 786.

“It (Khiladi) is a title for me. Wherever I go people call me Khiladi. I have always been referred to as Khiladi (player),” the actor said.

The upcoming action comedy film directed by Ashish R Mohan stars Ileana D’Cruz, Paresh Rawal and Himesh Reshammiya.

“I think the role was written for me... I am happy to be doing action films again,” Akshay said.

The 44-year-old began his acting career with action films but later took a break to dabble mainly in comedy.

Khiladi 786 is slated for release in Diwali.
