The acclaimed actor is set to make comeback with Dishoom.
Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna is set to make a comeback after a four-year-long hiatus.
The 41-year-old actor, who was last seen in 2012 comedy Gali Gali Chor Hai, will soon be seen in John Abraham, Varun Dhawan starrer Dishoom.
The trailer of the upcoming action-adventure film was launched on Wednesday where Akshaye was also present alongside the lead cast.
When asked about his absence from the industry, Akshaye told the reporters, "I had some personal issues which I had to sort out so, I couldn't work for a while," reports NDTV.
"I am thrilled to be back with this film Dishoom and a couple of more films this year," he added.
Akshaye, who plays the role of a kidnapper named Wagha, revealed that it was just a one-liner in the film that got him excited.

"For me, it was just one line of the film which was so fresh. Thirty six hours before India-Pakistan semi-final match, a major Indian cricketer gets kidnapped. Just that one line is so interesting and fresh," said the Dil Chahta Hai actor.

"And the fact that I kidnap him makes it nicer. That's the reason I was interested in the film," he added.
When asked if he is nervous to face the media after a long time, Akshaye quipped, "I have always been scared of the media so nothing new."
All for one and one for all
