Akshay Kumar wants to play Dara Singh in his biopic

Actor Akshay Kumar recently expressed his desire to play legendary wrestler and actor Dara Singh onscreen, if at all a biopic on the wrestler is ever made.

The actor graced the launch of ‘Deedara Aka Dara Singh’, a book on Dara Singh’s life, written by Seema Sonik Alimchand and said, “If Bindu (Dara Singh’s son) requests me, I would like to play the role of Dara Singh in his biopic.”

The actor also shared his plans on how he would prepare himself to play magnificient Dara Singh on screen. He said, “Dara Singh was a huge man and I have to justify his appearance. I need at least two years to put on that kind of bulk and look like a wrestler.”

He also shared a memory of him with the late icon. “Once, Dara Singh saab came for an inauguration. Somehow, I managed to get three tickets and I went there with my sister and father, who was also a wrestler. There was a popular story then, that Dara Singh had a trishul (Trident) on his back, which gave him all the power. If he was furious, his third eye would open and he would beat his opponents black and blue.”

Well, as biopics is Akshay’s forte, even we feel that he would be the best actor to be on screen Dara Singh.
