Akshay helped me learn Marathi for `Khiladi 786`: Asin

Mumbai: Actress Asin Thottumkal had to learn Marathi for her upcoming film ‘Khiladi 786’ and says co-star Akshay Kumar was a great help.

"I had to learn Marathi but Akshay was a great help because he speaks Marathi very fluently and all my dialogues have a Hindi accent with a little Maharashtrian touch and this is the first time I am playing such a character, an out-and-out Maharashtrian girl called Indu Tendulkar," the 27-year-old said here while promoting the film at a mall. "So, it was a lot of fun. I went all out for the character and hopefully it will have a good response," she added. Asin`s last two films ‘Housefull 2’ and ‘Bol Bachchan’ were super hits and she hopes ‘Khiladi 786’ turns out to be even a bigger hit. "Hopefully, keeping fingers crossed for a hat-trick. This year really has been very good for me with `Housefull 2` and `Bol Bachchan` doing really, really well. I hope `Khiladi 786` follows and hopefully breaks the record of the last two ones and I am looking forward to that," Asin said. Directed by Ashish R. Mohan, ‘Khiladi 786’ hits theatres Dec 7. IANS
