Say What? Akshay Kumar turned down a film of Karan Johar for ‘Good Newwz’

Akshay Kumar will be seen in ‘Good Newwz’ that is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions along with Akshay’s Cape of Good Films. Today the trailer of ‘Good Newwz’ released and it gave us a glimpse of the ‘biggest goof-up of the year’. Today, at the trailer launch event, Karan said that he originally planned to make a big-budget feature with Akshay but the ‘Kesari’ actor decided to do ‘Good Newwz’.

As reported by PTI, Karan said, “I have loved Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s films and I always wanted to make such movies but Dharma has never made a film like that. I went with a big film to Akshay because he is a mega movie star. Akshay’s uniqueness is that he searches for content. He never looks for scale or opulence or who is the director. He is one superstar who has always supported first-time directors and that’s rare for a movie star.”

Akshay added, “I asked Karan what else he was making. He told me he was making a small film called ‘Good Newwz’. I asked him to narrate its story to me. After listening to it, I told him, ‘Let’s drop the other one and do ‘Good Newwz’.”

Directed by debutant Raj Mehta, ‘Good Newwz’ also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles. It is slated to hit the silver screens on December 27, 2019.
