It was due to Abbas Mustan that Akshay got the nick name of Khiladi Kumar. The duo directed the 49-year-old star in 1992 hit film "Khiladi'. They later teamed up for "Ajnabee" and "Aitraaz" and both did well commercially.
"We did three films together and all were different from each other. We plan to work together. We are working on something," the duo told PTI.
They are also looking forward to the release of their next film "Machine" that marks the acting debut of Abbas's son Mustafa in Bollywood as an actor.
The romantic thriller also stars Kiara Advani in the lead.
