And the other one is ‘Rowdy Rathore’ under the banner of Sanjay Leela Bhansali Films and UTV Motion Pictures. It is being directed by the very versatile actor-choreographer-director Prabhu Deva, who has made him smash debut in Bollywood by directing Salman Khan starrer ‘Wanted’. Akshay Kumar will be pairing opposite the gorgeous Dabangg lady Sonakshi Sinha.
Check out the exclusive second look of the film, where the overall appearance gives you the impression of some 80’s or 90’s kind of movie poster made by some normal paint, with Akshay Kumar punching towards the screen in his sturdy moustache look along with a small stick or beedi in his mouth. The tagline is as well sounds catchy with ‘Faulaad ki Aulaad’ and ‘Akshay Kumar in and as ROWDY RATHORE’. The film is slated to release in theatres from June 15, 2012.
