Shatrughan Sinha is keen on doing another film with the Big B. Apparently the two have discussed the various possibilities of coming together. A project is now being designed. Says Shatrughan Sinha, “We haven’t worked together since ‘Shaan’ and ‘Kala Patthar’. It’d be really nice to work with him again. He’s a good actor and a fine human being. After my heart surgery my first social outing was to his 70th birthday party. I told him I wouldn’t have stepped out to such a crowded gathering for anyone else.

I broke my golden health rule for a golden human being.” Another colleague who has won Shatruji’s heart is Akshay Kumar. “He has been very inspiring in his good-health talk. He came here and very humbly told me how important it is to eat sleep and exercise well. I am now on to a different routine altogether. I wake up very early in the morning, go for a long walk. I’ll be resuming my yoga very soon. Late nights are completely out.

Not that I partied late anyway.” As soon as Shatruji is back to completely normalcy he will start a film with Akshay Kumar. “It’s a subject that he has been desirous of doing with me for a long time. Akshay came and told me, ‘Sir, ab to meri baat maan lijiye.’ I’ve agreed . But he has laid down a pre-condition. Akhsay says our shooting shifts would be 7 am to 2 pm. I am game.”
