Tees Maar Khan - Akshay Kumar and Farah Khan

Talking to Bollywood Hungama, Shirish confirmed the news saying, "Tees Maar Khan's story was written by me, keeping Akshay Kumar in mind. And the reason why I chose Akshay was because; he suits the character to a 'T'. Initially, I was supposed to direct the film, but, since it's our first home production (Three's Company Production Pvt. Ltd.), Farah and I decided that the film will be produced by me and she shall direct it. We shall start shooting for this film in March next year." The actress who is to play the romantic angle opposite Akshay is yet to be finalized.

Meanwhile, when we probed Shirish about his long-time-pending project Joker, Shirish said was "It's too early to talk about it. All that I can say is that I will start work on Joker, once things get settled on Tees Maar Khan."
