Katz can’t get enough of Akshay

Akshay and Katrina have proved to be a very successful pair in movies likeHumko Deewana Kar Gaye, Welcome, Namastey London and Singh is Kinng.

Katrina is moving away from glam doll roles towards serious, performance films as if evident from New York, Rajneeti andAjab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani. She did De Dana Dan, a multi-starrer comedy on Akshay’s insistence. They will be seen as an on-screen couple in Anthony D’souza’s next film reportedly titledAasman, which is a sequel to Blue.

The film’s cast is even bigger than that of Blue. Along with Akshay and Katrina, Lara, Sanjay and Zayed will reprise their roles. Neha Uberoi who made an unsuccessful debut in Woodstock Villa and followed it up with another flop in the form of EMI will star opposite Zayed in the film. A special role is being written for John Abraham who will have Sonal Chauhan (of Jannat fame) as his heroine. AR Rahman has agreed to score the music for this film as well.

A source tells us that Anthony wants to make a film with John because they both have been friends for a long time and John helped him find producers for Blue.Moreover, it will be great to have four hunks on screen. John and Akshay have previously worked in Garam Masala while John and Sanjay were at loggerheads inZinda. Lara will have to maintain her bikini figure and Sonal and Neha have been asked to tone up to look super hot. Aasman will start off as an underwater adventure and then move to the sky. It is most likely to borrow elements from Top Gun and Behind Enemy Lines.

Anthony D’souza confirmed the news saying, “I can’t say much about the film now as it’s too early. I am currently busy because of the success of Blue. I am keen on having John on board.” "I am currently reading a lot of scripts, and when I decide to do a film, it will be a multi-starrer, most definitely with the same cast from Blue," he added.

He had a great time working with Katrina and Akshay in Blue, and sees no reason why he should not cash on their magic. Didn't they give some of the biggest (but brainless) hits in recent times? We're counting!
