Is Farah Khan planning to rope in Akshay Kumar for her next?

After the dismal performance of their maiden venture Tees Maar Khan (2010), Farah Khan and Akshay Kumar’s friendship went kaput and they did not collaborate on any other project thereafter. However, as things stand today, the duo seems to have patched up and if things fall into place, they might even come together for their second venture.

According to reports, choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan is planning to reteam with Kumar for her next project. “They celebrated Sajid’s (Khan) birthday, and Farah also wished Akshay on his birthday, on Sunday. Given that their friendship has been re-invigorated, Farah has discussed her next project with Akshay, and she wants him to play the lead role,” a source reveals.


The source goes on to add, “And though he has not yet agreed to do the film, Akshay wants to hear the final draft.”

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is presently shooting for his next films, Kesari and Housefull 4. His next release will be the Shankar directorial 2.0, also starring Rajinikanth.
