Akshay Kumar is one of the biggest superstars of Bollywood, who has been ruling the industry for decades now. This year was not as great for the actor as his movies like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sarfira and Khel Khel Mein failed at the box office. However, his next movie Singham Again with Rohit Shetty might change his fate. Recently, a report by Pinkvilla suggested that Akshay will be teaming up with Pathaan director Siddharth Anand for a big action movie. The report further suggests that the film will be directed by Milan Luthria.
A source told the portal, “Siddharth has got together the director-writer duo of Milan Luthria and Rajat Arora to develop an action film set against the zone of a vigilante film. When the script was locked, the trio unanimously felt that Akshay Kumar is the best fit for the film and on hearing the script, Akshay also felt that this is the right film for him to associate with at this point of time.”
“Akshay loves the action space and is always up for challenges. The Milan Luthria directorial will see him in a never seen before avatar, that does justice to the legacy created by him in action. Sid and Mamta are excited for this new collaboration with the Khiladi,” the source added.
This news came after Akshay Kumar’s latest release Khel Khel Mein is struggling to gain good numbers at the box office. Released in theatres on 15th August, the movie was directed by Mudassar Aziz. The comedy-drama also features Pragya Jaiswal, Vaani Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Aditya Seal and Ammy Virk in key roles. The movie had a clash with two other big banner films- John Abraham’s Vedaa and Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2.
Akshay Kumar will be next seen in Sky Force which also stars Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur in key roles. The movie is scheduled to release in theatres on 2nd October.
