Check out: Akshay Kumar in Chacha Chaudhary

The recent trend of promoting action films through comic novels has inspired yet another film. Akshay Kumar's forthcoming film Boss is set to have a tie-up with the cult comic book 'Chacha Chaudhary'. This special edition of the comic novel will be printed in English & Hindi and will be launched by Akshay Kumar in Delhi.

The reason for the tie up is said to be the fact that the character of Akshay in Boss bears a few resemblances with 'Chacha Chaudhary'. While Chacha Chaudhary is an intelligent old man who helps people in distress by solving their problem, Akki too considered to the one who helps people in trouble but in his own funny way!

Being a huge fan of this comic, Akki said, "I have been a fan of Chacha Chaudhary and Sabu since my childhood. I feel honored that my character of Boss will now be featured alongside them in a special comic book."

Speaking about the tie-up of Boss with Chacha Chaudhary, Head of Marketing of Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Rudrarup Dutta said, "Diamond Comics' Chacha Chaudhary is a legendary Indian character, an entire generation has grown up reading it. This special edition will have Boss - Akshay Kumar join the team to vanquish their enemies. Apart from a unique medium which connects with the target audience, especially children to promote the film, it also is a matter of pride to be part of this 'collector's edition' of one of the most loved Indian comic books."

Produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Cape Of Good Films and Ashwin Varde Productions Boss is all set to release on October 16.
