It seems that Khiladi Akshay Kumar had a change of heart recently! Considered as one of the most bankable star by Indian filmmakers, the ‘Khiladi of Bollywood’ has refused to become a part of the desi remake of ‘The Hangover’, because he no longer feels like associating himself with disorderly behaviour and drinking!
The supposed change in his demeanor is being blamed on the audience, who out-rightly disliked him for a similar role in ‘Kambakkht Ishq’, and the actor has thereby said that he would do only clean comedies henceforth.
As a matter of fact - Akshay Kumar was keen on being a part of the remake earlier, after good friend and producer Feroz Nadiadwala had purchased the rights of Tod Philips’s 2009 blockbuster. But because of date issues in 2009, Akshay Kumar couldn’t contemplate the project the same year and now with his newfound principles, the actor does not want to feature in the remake.
In 2009, Khiladi Akshay Kumar signed two films, Nadiadwala’s ‘Hera Pheri 4’ and ‘The Hangover’, both to be directed by Anees Bazmi, but the superstar has now opted out of the latter because of his insights.
Grapevine has it that Akshay Kumar’s loss has become Sanjay Dutt’s gain, as Nadiadwala has now roped in Sanjay and Abhishek for the cult comedy. And the duo is reportedly very happy to do this raunchy boys’ film! Anees intends to bring about various changes in the script and his version of ‘Hangover’ is said to be radically different from the original.
