As per previous buzz, it was being rumoured that Shahid would headline the Hindi remake of ‘Soorarai Pottru‘.

Akshay Kumar has allegedly replaced Shahid

A source told Bollywood Hungama“It’s a pan India film and the story needs to be witnessed by everyone. Because the makers (actor Suriya and Guneet Monga) have the rights to the biopic, they have now planned to go big with Akshay Kumar on board. Yes, they narrated the story to Akshay again and he loved it. He has already given his verbal nod to the project and the team is waiting to lock in on the dates and other modalities.”

The source also added that though Shahid was the initial choice, the makers had to move on as the Kabir Singh star was asking for remuneration of Rs. 30 crores along with certain profit share!

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is arriving soon on the big screen – Bell Bottom will be out in theatres on August 19, 2021 – in 3D!
