Akshay to shoot ‘Housefull 2’ in Antarctica

MUMBAI: Bollywood star Akshay Kumar will be shooting in Antarctica where no Indian actor has shot before.

Akshay Kumar wants to make his return to action in Housefull 2 remarkable, so the introductory fight scene will be shot in Antarctica, with Akshay bare chested!

"Yes, I'm shooting Akshay's introductory action sequence for Housefull 2 in Antarctica. It's the coldest place in the world. Only documentaries have been shot there. Housefull 2 will be the first feature to be shot in that continent," director Sajid Khan confirmed.

43-year-old Akshay will feature shirtless in the fight scene. Filming the 10-minute scene in Antarctica is Akshay's idea and producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director Khan are game.

Filming will begin in May 2011.
