Akshay Kumar is all set to bring back to back films and fans are going crazy. If things went as planned then 2 of his films would have already been released by now. While now Rohit Shetty’s much awaited film Sooryavanshi will be waiting for the big screens to reopen, his Horror comedy Laxmmi Bomb is all set for a digital release.
Meanwhile, Akshay has also signed Prithviraj which is produced by Yash Raj Film. Now, it has also been reported that Akshay will do a big budget action comedy, also backed by Aditya Chopra’s YRF. Earlier it was said that the film is making a directorial debut of Rahul Rawail’s son Shiv Rawail. However if we believe the sources then Maneesh Sharma might helm this project.
A source was quoted as saying, “Maneesh Sharma is an accomplished filmmaker and has handled some important films, including the VFX-heavy biggie Fan (2016), featuring Shah Rukh Khan. Aditya Chopra is having thoughts that maybe Maneesh might be apt to direct this flick. At the same time, he hasn’t given up on Shiv Rawail as well. He has assisted on YRF films like Dhoom 3 (2013), Befikre (2016) and also Fan.”
The source adds, “The lockdown has slowed down the process and also now the shoot of this flick too will get postponed as Akshay will finish his other films first. Hence, this flick won’t go on floors before mid-2021. Aditya Chopra will take a call sometime later as to who shall direct.”
Earlier we have reported that YRF is going to celebrate its 50th anniversary, this film is said to be a part of it.
