Shirish Kunder is embarking on his second movie project. This time, he will only be producing it, unlike his first movie, Jaan-e-Mann. His wife, Farah Khan will be directing it. And what’s surprising is that, this movie, titled Tees Maar Khan won’t star Farah’s favorite, Shah Rukh Khan but Akshay Kumar.

The movie will start shooting next year. Shirish was working on the film’s subject for quite a while. He swayed Akshay to do the movie and now Farah will be directing it. This will be Farah’s first movie without Shah Rukh.

For the moment, Farah is almost done with the script for Happy New Year, which stars Shah Rukh Khan. The movie, however, has been delayed to 2011 because of SRK’s busy schedule. SRK has Ra.1 and Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2 to shoot for next year.

Shirish Kunder and Akshay’s banner, Hari Om Productions, will produce Tees Maar Khan. The news was verified by Shirish, who added that they would be starting the movie in March next year.
