Akshay to play double role in an upcoming horror comedy

It has not been long when Akshay Kumar expressed his desire to be part of a horror comedy. A couple of weeks ago, reports were doing the rounds that the superstar might headline the Hindi remake of Tamil horror comedy Kanchana 2: Ganga. And the latest we hear is that Kumar has indeed given his nod to star in the remake. We have also learnt that the actor will be seen in a double role in the film.

According to reports, Akshay does not want to stick to a particular image. In the past few years, he has mostly be seen in social issues driven films like Jolly LLB 2, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Pad Man. The actor wants to break that image and experiment with new characters.
