Akshay Kumar confirms he’s not doing biopic on Gulshan Kumar

While everyone was quite excited to know that Aamir Khan has come onboard to co-produce the much-talked-about biopic on music baron Gulshan Kumar, fans might feel a little disappointed after knowing that Akshay Kumar is no longer a part of the movie.

When the project, titled Mogul, was launched in 2017, Akshay Kumar was confirmed to play Gulshan Kumar in it. However, months after the formal announcement, rumours started doing the rounds that Akshay is not doing the movie.


Now, Akshay has himself confirmed his exit from the Gulshan Kumar biopic. Revealing the reason behind quitting the movie, he said that he did not agree on the script of the movie and hence he decided to bow out of it.

“No, I am not part of it. I am not doing it. We did not agree on the script,” said the superstar.

He also denied rumours of being roped in for Dharma Productions’ forthcoming film opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is promoting his upcoming film Gold. Besides Gold, he will also be seen in 2.0, Kesari and Housefull 4.
