Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar to reteam after 21 years?

Last seen together in late filmmaker Yash Chopra’s musical blockbuster Dil Toh Pagal Hai (1997), superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar are rumoured to be joining hands once again after a massive gap of 21 years.

Talking to an entertainment portal, B. Unnikrishnan, the director of Malayalam film, Kodathi Samaksham Balan Vakeel (2019), divulged that his latest offering is mostly being remade in Bollywood by Viacom18 Motion Pictures and the makers are in early talks with Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar to play male leads in it.


“Viacom is considering remaking the movie and discussions are in the initial stages. We are talking to both Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan for starring in the movie,” said Unni Krishnan in his recent interview.

Well, watching these two acting greats together on silver screen after such a long time is going to be an amazing experience for all cinephiles. We hope the makers make the official announcement soon.

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is presently shooting for Dharma Productions’ Good News. He will soon start promoting his upcoming release Kesari, while his much-awaited films Mission Mangal and Housefull 4 are set to enter theatres in the second half of the year.

Shah Rukh Khan, on the other hand, has not signed any new movie after the failure of his ambitious project, Zero (2018).
