And Akshay Kumar has another film in his kitty!

As per reports, Akshay has been signed as the leading actor in the Bollywood remake of Tamil film, Kanchana. This marks the return of Akshay Kumar to the genre of horror- comedy after 12 years. His last film in this genre was Bhool Bhulaiyaa which released back in 2007. Kareena Kapoor-Akshay Kumar’s Movie Delayed to September 6; Who Called it Good News?

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the film will not exactly be a remake but will be based on the lines of two films - Munni and Kanchana. "It’s not a straight remake, the basic premise will draw references from two films, Muni and Kanchana, so it’s more like two films clubbed in one to create double the impact. The team has been working on the script for over six months and has added several new dimensions to the original film," says a source close to the development. After Twinkle Khanna, Now Akshay Kumar ‘Complains’ About What He Gets in 18 Years of Their Marriage, and All We See Is Their Love!
