Akshay is the desi Robin Hood

His role in 'Tees Maar Khan' is inspired by the English hero

Akshay Kumar plays a con man in 'Tees Maar Khan' and director Farah Khan says his role is inspired by English folklore hero Robin Hood.

"In 'Tees Maar Khan', Akshay plays a modern-day extra smart conman, who steals money from the rich and gives it to the poor, someone like Robin Hood," Farah said.

"Around 50 to 55 percent of the film is complete and we plan to finish shooting by September. Like always, in this film also you will see a mix of action, comedy and emotions."

This is Farah's third film after 'Main Hoon Na' and 'Om Shanti Om', but the first one without Shah Rukh Khan who played the main lead in both her previous movies.

Apart from Akshay, 'Tees Maar Khan' also stars Katrina Kaif, Akshaye Khanna, Arya Babbar, Aman Verma and Ali Asgar.

In 'Tees Maar Khan', Akshay will be seen sporting an Indian Muslim look. Designer Aki Narula has worked on his costumes alongside an international team of make-up artists and hairdressers.

Apart from the movie, Farah's been busy on the judge's seat on Zee TV’s dance reality show 'Dance India Dance Li’l Masters', where she will be seen judging kids aged 5-14 years old.

"I am a reality show junkie. I enjoy judging because these shows make us realise that there is so much talent here. I feel reality shows are a great platform as it gives great exposure as well as recognition to individuals. As a judge I'll try not to be harsh to the kids," said Farah who was in New Delhi to promote the show.

When asked what does she think of the government guidelines that children under a certain age should not be a part of reality shows, Farah said: "If these kids are not brought forward how will we get to know they are so talented.

"I feel it depends upon the parents how they mould their children, whether they turn out to be aggressive or take the competition in a healthy way."
