Akshay Kumar’s upcoming release Khel Khel Mein is reportedly a remake of the 2016 Italian comedy-drama Perfect Strangers. The film revolves around seven friends whose dark secrets and phony lies are exposed when they decide to play a game involving their phones. This leads to the severing of marital bonds and friendships, while also making an important statement about how sometimes your closest confidantes can be masked strangers.
In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Akshay reveals how he would react if his wife, Twinkle Khanna, were to read his personal messages. “I wouldn’t be scared if I had to show my phone to my partner. My phone lies around with my staff members. At home, it’s always lying around, charging. I’ve got nothing to hide,” the Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and OMG 2 star tells us.
However, he quips that it could still make for an interesting game. “This game will be more fun than an outdoor game because outdoor games don’t give you the same kind of adrenaline rush. A phone game requires mental effort. You’ve got to be constantly on your toes, thinking about what to do next if your partner or friends have read your personal messages,” Akshay remarks.
Khel Khel Mein revolves around relationships and explores the stories of three married couples at different stages and circumstances in their lives. Akshay plays the role of a middle-aged man who, despite being the glue among them, is going through a rocky marriage himself. When asked if he would like to offer any tips on marriage, he says, “I don’t want to give any tips to anyone. Everyone should learn through their own experiences in life. But marriage is a beautiful circle of life.”
