Once prolific Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Roy had made a film "Shatranj Ke Khiladi" in which Sanjeev Kumar and Sayeed Jafrey played nawabs addicted to the game of chess. But in reality Bollywood has its own 'shatranj ke khiladi' -- Akshaye Khanna.
He is currently shooting for Abbas Mastan's next project "Race" with Saif Ali Khan in Yash Raj Studio, where once during a break Akshaye pulled everybody from cast to crew to play chess with him.
The director duo was also not spared by his addiction.
On the sets of "Naqaab" too, in Dubai, he played chess every day with the unit members of the film and defeated all of them with his fast moves.
Abbas-Mastan's "Naqaab" is also a thriller where everybody plays a game with each other.
