Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has completed his first Indo-Canadian production film Breakaway. The film’s star casts includes Rob Lowe, Camilla Belle, Akshay Kumar, Russell Peters and Anupam Kher.
The film has been shot very well so that it can appeal to masses. It contains music videos featuring hip-hop stars Ludacris, Drake and Akshay himself.
Akshay Says, “The film is ready for a Hollywood release come September 30. Alliance Atlantis, one of the world’s largest distributors, will pick up the film — their first film by an Indian producer. We are treating it like a Hollywood release, with more than 3,500 prints. It’s a giant step for us, as an Indian film is trying to break into Hollywood. It will also be the curtainraiser at the Toronto Film Festival on September 10 this year.”
For international release this film is titled as Breakaway and the Indian version of the film is titled as Speedy Singh and Akshay has only done cameo in the film. Breakaway has been directed by Robert Lieberman and written by Jeff Schechter.
Akshay talks about the film, “Breakaway is a touching story about a young Indian ice hockey player who wants to get into the big league. I am introducing Vinay Virmani, who is a very good ice hockey player in real life as well. The film is about an Indian family wanting to break the stranglehold the Whites have abroad in sports.”
