Salman and Karan Johar to co-Produce Akshay Kumar's next
Filmmaker Karan Johar made a blockbuster announcement on January 3, revealing that he is all set to co-produce a film with Salman Khan which stars Akshay Kumar in lead. “Truly a fraternity feeling when friends come together to make a special film,” Karan wrote in a separate tweet after making the announcement. Just a day before, Akshay Kumar had announced the four films he's currently busy with -- all of which will release this year. And now, Akshay's dates-diary has allotted time for a fifth film which will release in 2018.
Johar's Dharma Productions and Salman's Salman Khan Films will back the film, which will be directed by Anurag Singh.
Meanwhile, Akshay's films calendar for 2017 is as follows: first up is “Jolly LLB” directed by Subhash Kapoor. He'll then be seen in “Toilet Ek Prem Katha” with Bhumi Pednekar, and his much awaited film with Rajinikanth, titled “2.0”, will release around Diwali. Finally a film based on Arunachalam Muruganantham titled “Pad-Man”, which will be his wife Twinkle Khanna's first film as owner of Mrs FunnyBones Productions. It will be directed by R Balki.
Salman Khan, 51, has Kabir Khan's “Tubelight” and Ali Abbas Zafar's “Tiger Zinda Hai” with Katrina Kaif up his sleeve. Salman shot for the film in Ladakh and Manali with Chinese actress Zhu Zhu all through 2016 while “Tiger Zinda Hai” is still in scripting stage. The film is a sequel to “Ek Tha Tiger”, which featured the same cast with Kabir Khan as director.
Karan Johar's last film as director, “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, was a hit and meanwhile, he is all set for the release of “OK Jaanu”, “Badrinath Ki Dulhania” and “Dragon”.
Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar have costarred in 2003 film “Mujhse Shaadi Karogi” while Salman had a cameo in KJo's debut film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”. The trio was seen together recently at the event to launch the first look of “2.0”. The event was hosted by Karan Johar while Salman was a surprise guest.
