Exclusive: Is Akshay Kumar getting back to serious action?

Is Akshay Kumar itching to get back into action? It looks like. The Bollywood superstar, whose first 2019 release will be Kesari on March 21, appears to be preparing to get back into Khiladi mode. There are many indications of that happening today itself. PeepingMoon.com gives you a lowdown. To start with, the actor in his avatar as IPS officer Veer Sooryavanshi from Rohit Shetty’s cop drama Sooryavanshi that is slated for release on Eid 2020 (Salman Khan, beware) burst out of morning newspapers in a dynamic full page ad. The film is described as coming from the “Universe of Singham and Simmba” and Akshay will be playing an Anti-Terrorist Squad cop in this action drama.

After that, he did films like Airlift, Housefull 3, Rustom, Jolly LLB 2, Naam Shabana, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, PadMan, Gold and 2.0 that didn’t give him the opportunity to really showcase his supremacy as an action superstar. But starting with Kesari, Akshay is moving back to action. Interestingly, he’s lent his voice to the song Ajj Singh Garjega from the film that releases today.

The stunt, designed by Rohit, will be shot this week and shown on the finale of the show. Akshay himself had hosted Season 1, 2 and 4 of Khatron Ke Khiladi.

The internet video on demand service has invited the media to Turf Club this afternoon to announce an upcoming Prime Original Series and its lead actor who is an Indian superstar making his digital debut. Buzz is that this superstar is Akshay and the reason why Turf Club has been chosen for the announcement is because it is at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse and the actor plans to make a spectacular entry by performing a never-seen-before stunt for the media. When it’s Akshay Kumar then even a stage as large as the racecourse can be small for one of his stunts!
