Akshay Kumar isn't the only Khiladi in Khiladi 786, which opens on Friday, December 7.

One poster for the film displays Raj Babbar, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Mukesh Rishi and Rajesh Khattar behind Akshay, all draped in police uniforms.

Rajesh Khattar, extreme left:: Shah Rukh Khan's boss in Farhan Akthar's Don (remember the scene where Boman Irani kills him in the loo?), Khattar has also dubbed for several Hollywood films.

Raj Babbar, behind Akshay: The veteran has been more busy with politics -- he is, after all, the Congress MP from Firozabad. Babbar was last seen as a narcotics agent in the John Abraham starrer Force.

Gurpreet Ghuggi, with tilted head behind Akshay: The comedian has appeared in Punjabi films and rose to national prominence fame with his funny acts on television. Last seen in Shirish Kunder's Joker.

Mukesh Rishi, extreme right: The actor whose comeback we are most excited about. We loved Rishi in the last movie Aamir Khan played a cop in before Taalash, John Matthew Mathan's Sarfarosh.

Rishi played a Muslim cop whose sterling patriotism confronts and overwhelms terrorists of his faith. The snarling villian in many Hindi films, Rishi was last seen in Force.
