Producer Bhushan Kumar says Akshay Kumar is the best choice to play his late father, Gulshan Kumar, on screen because both have many similarities.
At the song launch of Sonakshi Sinha’s upcoming movie, Noor, on Wednesday he said: “Akshay is the apt choice for the role because he has many similarities with my father. Both are Punjabis and believes in Vaishno Devi. There are more similarities like this which you will see in the film.”
Gulshan Kumar’s biopic is a story of ‘rag to riches’. The take on the life of the man behind T Series is being directed by Subhash Kapoor.
Speaking about the film, he said: “It is an emotional film for us. We are all attached to this story because it is a story of my father. Whoever has been associated with the film be it Akshay or Subhash Kapoor all are emotional about the project.”
Although the flick’s poster has recently been released, shooting for the biopic will begin by the end of 2017.
