He's consolidated his status in Indian cinebiz. And after savouring success as a leading man in Hindi movies, Akshay Kumar is all set to forge a cinematic bond with Hollywood and Canada as a producer.

Akshay Kumar, Canada Tourism Brand Ambasssador, will deepen ties between the two nations as he turns producer with the Indo Canadian venture 'Break Away' helmed by Robert Lieberman ('The Tortured') and will showcase Canadian actress Emily Van Camp, who made her mark with the winning telly series 'Brothers And Sisters'.

Crafted under his home banner: Hari Om Productions, 'Break Away' is unlikely to star Akki in any of the roles, as per reliable sources.

Action Kumar, who recently played host to a dinner meet between the top politicos of the two nations, viz.

Manmohan Singh and Stephen Harper, is said to enjoy an enviable reputation in Canada. Reportedly, Akki left a great impression on Canadian minds after he turned brand ambassador of the 2010 winter Olympic Games in Canada.
