One of Akshay Kumar's biggest projects, the remake of the Tamil film 'Thuppakki' has finally kick-started and the biggest news is that renowned action director Greg Powell has been roped in to direct the action in Akshay's film.

To make sure everything is perfect, the makers have flown down the London-based director.

All excited about working on his first Bollywood film, here is what is had to say, "This is the first Bollywood film I'm working on and the experience has been great. The Indian crew is extremely professional. The special effects teams are good too."

Greg has directed the action in the film 'Skyfall' in 2012 and he is now looking forward to his upcoming Hollywood release, 'Fast and Furious 6'.

When he was asked about working with Akshay Kumar, he said, "Akshay is extremely enthusiastic about trying out new things. He rehearses a lot and is very, very fast. His skills are really good. In fact, he was jumping from one building to another the other day and pulled it off very well."

The action director also added that Akshay's love for fitness has come in handy while performing stunts. "For his age, Akshay is super fit. And because he practices a lot of stunts before finally performing them, things get a lot easier. I test each and every stunt personally," says Greg.
