Akki and 8x10 Tasveer

Percept's 8x10 Tasveer�is shaping up fast. The audio packaging, editing and styling of this much-awaited Akshay Kumar-starrer is happening in full swing. Akshay, who is right now shooting for Vipul Shah's Fast Forward in Karjat, is reported to have hired a chopper for commuting from Karjat to Mumbai (where he is dubbing for 8x10 Tasveer) for�convenient commutation without loss of time.

A source close to the film crew revealed, “Akshay is very particular about his shoots and doesn't like to delay them. He decided to hire a chopper so that he ends up saving time.” Karjat, being a popular shooting spot, has a helipad which provides private chopper service for actors. Akshay sometimes uses a helicopter to come�to Mumbai and dub for Tasveer. The source also added that Akshay has been shelling around Rs. 75,000 per day for the helicopter. “He's paying for the services out of his own pocket instead of asking Percept to do it,” the source reported.

It is also reported that singer Tulsi Kumar shot the number 'Aaja Maahi' for 8x10 Tasveer with Neeraj of Bombay Vikings at Basra Studios recently. The song has been composed by Neeraj and directed by Ajeen Parkar.

8x10 Tasveer�has Ayesha Takia, Sharmila Tagore, Javed Jaffrey and Girish Karnad among others in the�main roles.
