Akshaye Khanna - Bollywood's new chess master
|
Once
prolific Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Roy had made a film "Shatranj Ke
Khiladi" in which Sanjeev Kumar and Sayeed Jafrey played nawabs
addicted to the game of chess. But in reality Bollywood has its own
'shatranj ke khiladi' -- Akshaye Khanna.
He is currently
shooting for Abbas Mastan's next project "Race" with Saif Ali Khan in
Yash Raj Studio, where once during a break Akshaye pulled everybody
from cast to crew to play chess with him.
The director duo was also not spared by his addiction.
On
the sets of "Naqaab" too, in Dubai, he played chess every day with the
unit members of the film and defeated all of them with his fast moves.
Abbas-Mastan's "Naqaab" is also a thriller where everybody plays a game with each other.
