Akshay Kumar to star in the remake of Ajith's Tamil film Veeram.

Akshay Kumar's calendar is full as he has
movies lined up till the year 2019. The actor
is currently shooting for Reema Kagti's Gold
and then will start with the promotions of
his Tamil debut 2.0 and PadMan. Akshay will
even star in a film titled Kesar reportedly
based on The Battle of Saragarhi.
Now, as per a leading daily, Akshay has
signed Farhad of duo Sajid-Farhad's
directorial debut reportedly titled Land of
Lungi (LOL). The film is set to be the remake
of Tamil movie Veeram released in the year
2014 which starred South superstar Ajith in
the lead. The project will be produced by
Sajid Nadiadwala and will be a village-based
drama, where Akshay will be donning lungi
for most of the time.
Talking about the film, a source said to the
daily, "Akshay hasn't done a South remake
since Boss, so this will be a good change for
his fans."
Farhad has directed Akshay before in
Housefull 3 with Sajid. The source further
said, "Akshay is very comfortable with
Farhad's brand of humour. As for Akshay
and Sajid, this will be their ninth film
together. They make a great team and are
good friends, too. The original film had done
good business, and looking at the
combination that has come together for the
remake, this seems like a safe bet."
The original film had Tamannaah Bhatia as
the female lead, we have to wait to see if
she will be cast in the remake too.
Are you excited to see Akshay as a lungi-clad
hero?
