It was announced some time back that Akshay Kumar is planning to reunite with the director of Mission Mangal, Jagan Shakti for another film.
It was already revealed that this movie, titled, Mission Lion, will be a sci-fi thriller and Akshay will be seen playing a double role.
However, now as per Bollywood Hungama, Akshay Kumar and the producers, Vashu and Jackky Bhagnani have decided to put this film on the back burner.
“Akshay Kumar and his producers, Vashu and Jackky Bhagnani have decided to put Mission Lion on the back burner. It’s a costly film, and they felt this isn’t the right time to mount a film like this given the market scenario. Even the script work was taking longer than expected. As all factors came together, the trio decided to put the film on hold for time being,” a source informed Bollywood Hungama.
Director Jagan Shakti is unhappy with this decision as he was waiting to commence the movie much before the pandemic.
“However, following the success of Mission Mangal, Jagan is the man in demand. He is now gearing up to direct a film for John Abraham and Arjun Kapoor by year end, which is the remake of Malayalam hit, Ayyappanum Koshiyum. After that, he is all set for a Tamil film from Summer 2022,” source added.
On the work front, Akshay Kumar is busy with his upcoming movies like Sooryavanshi, Raksha Bandhan, Atrangi Re and more.
