Director Neeraj Pandey, whose last film 'Special 26' won critical appreciation, is now all set for his next project, also an Akshay Kumar-starrer. Says a source, "Getting inspired by various Hollywood films is not new to Bollywood. The latest one to join this bandwagon is Neeraj Pandey, whose next film with Akshay Kumar is apparently based on Ben Affleck's Academy Award winning film, 'Argo'."
