Akshay Kumar to play the lead in Twinkle Khanna’s production, directed by R Balki

While we all know that Akshay Kumar and director R Balki are all set to collaborate for their next, here we bring to you some inside detail of the film.

Even though Akshay chose to stay away from biopics in his three decades long career, he is all set to enter the space and has singed a biopic on Balbir Singh, a former member of the Indian hockey team. Apart from this, he will also be playing the lead in another biopic, produced by wife Twinkle Khanna’s new production house, on Arunachalam Muruganantha, the man who made a huge difference to the lives of rural women in contemporary India.

Twinkle Khanna’s new book ‘The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad’, which is a collection of short stories, had one story, ‘The Sanitary Man from the Sacred Land’,  based on the man who created a machine that makes low-cost sanitary pads for women in rural areas.

Says a source, “It’s the kind of film that will appeal to Twinkle’s sensibilities. It will be directed by R Balki and will star Akshay. The concept is hers, and will be developed by R Balki.”

Reports also suggested that Sonam Kapoor will be starring opposite Akshay in the biopic.
