Akshay Kumar starrer "Mogul" still in scripting process

"Mogul" is a biopic of legend Gulshan Kumar who will be portrayed by Akshay Kumar. Earlier this year the makers announced the film - Akshay Kumar in and as Gulshan Kumar. While during the announcement the team seemed much happy with the collaboration as Akshay shared many similarities with Late. Gulshan Kumar and it will be helmed by Subhash Kapoor.

However, recently few reports suggested that the actor has some creative differences with the makers. He requested the makers to rewrite few things but, Subhash was adamant. Hence, Akshay thought it was best if he opted out. The film was supposed to release next year but, got pushed to 2019.

When a leading daily got in touch with Bhushan Kumar on the same, he replied, "This is not just another film for us. Mogul is a very emotional project. This is a story, which will be narrated only once. Subhash is working on the script and the focus is on getting it right. There are so many aspects of the subject, and it's important that the right emotional connect comes through."

Talking about the film's shoot and release date, Bhushan Kumar further continued, "We had never locked the dates with Akshay. Once the script is finalised, we will be proceeding with planning and scheduling the shoot. The priority is to get the script right. It's not easy to tell a life story in two-and-a-half hours flat. And since Mogul is based on my father's life, we have invested emotionally in the project, especially my mother."

On the other hand, Akshay quipped, "Subhash is scripting the film. Only after the script is finalised will the production be scheduled, no?"
