The movie, called 8×10 earlier, has been in the making for a long time now, but is expected to release on April 3, 2009.

Some reports say that 8×10 Tasveer is still in post-production and may not meet it April 3, 2009 release date.

8 X 10 Tasveer is the story of Jai (Akshay Kumar) who has an unique gift of looking into the past of the dead, by touching their personal objects. He often uses this ability to help people.

Things take a personal turn when Jai’s father (Benjamin Gilani) dies in mysterious circumstances in a boat accident. Events lead Jai to suspect that his father was murdered.

The only way he can find out the truth is by using an 8×10 photograph, taken by his mother (Sharmila Tagore) just before his father’s death.

The photograph captures his father with his best friend (Girish Karnad), his adopted son (Rushad Rana), and younger brother (Anant Mahadevan).

Jai goes into the past time and again to gather clues as to the identity of the killer, who is now hunting him. Can he beat the killer at his own game?
