Akshaye keeping his fingers crossed for 'Naqaab'

Actor Akshaye Khanna is keeping his fingers crossed for his forthcoming release "Naqaab", a romantic-thriller directed by Abbas-Mustan.

"I'm very passionate about 'Naqaab' and I'm really looking forward to its release," he said at a news conference here, about the film, which also stars Bobby Deol and newcomer Urvashi Sharma.

The 32-year-old actor, however, did not divulge any more details of the film, much to the disappointment of around 50 journalists and photographers who attended the event for him.

Though his "Salaam-E-Ishq" opened to lukewarm response, Akshaye has six more films to hit the silver screen.

His other releases include "Tashan", "Shortcut", "When Kiran Met Karen", "Aaja Nachley", "Gandhi My Father" and "Race".

Akshaye, who made his debut in 1997 with "Mohabbat", has acted in around 30 films.
