Creator-producer Abhimanyu Singh of Contiloe Pictures knew that convincing Akshaye Khanna to headline State of Siege: Temple Attack, the second instalment of the ZEE5 franchise, wouldn’t be easy. The creator was relieved when the crackling script by William Borthwick and Simon Fantauzzo lured the actor, who is known to be painfully selective. “It’s a good thing that Akshaye is choosy; he has a great sense of script. We approached him with a bound script. He hadn’t seen [State of Siege: 26/11], so it was the written word that drew him,” says Singh.
