From neighbours to co-stars: Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan to team u

Back in the 90s and the early 2000s, it was
commonplace to see a multi-hero project
with two or more superstars. There were
many popular two-hero jodis. From Amitabh
Bachchan-Vinod Khanna/Shatrughan Sinha/
Rishi Kapoor to Salman Khan- Akshay Kumar
or Sanjay Dutt-Govinda. It's been years since
we've seen a film like that with senior
actors. Trade pundits explain that it is not
possible to get two big heroes together as it
is not financially feasible because of their
high fees. Also, once actors achieve a certain
level of success, they have to worry about
things like who is getting more screen time,
number of scenes, better songs, and best
dialogues. in short, too complicated.
A fallout happened between Shah Rukh
Khan and Sunny Deol post-Darr. Ditto for
Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar after Blue.
Which effectively put an end to two big stars
coming together. But now it looks the
scenario might finally change. Akshay Kumar
and Hrithik Roshan are open to the idea of
atwo-hero film. In fact, we hear that the
new neighbours have even discussed this
possibility. A source tells us, "They have
found a great script which is perfect and
they both have lead roles."
There is comfort factor between Akki and
Duggu. They have been socialising together,
and complimenting each other on their
respective films on social media. Last year,
the two clashed together at the box-office,
with Rustom and Mohenjo Daro releasing
the same week, but there was no
unpleasantness.
Akshay in an interview confirmed, "I am
open to doing a two hero film. In fact, I have
been approached for one and I am
considering it ." When asked about any ego
clashes and insecurities? "Why should I care
about all that? If there are more actors, I will
have to do less work to do in the film, so it's
good for me in a way," he added.
Hrithik, too, in an interview with AFTERhrs,
hinted at the same. "I am open to the idea. I
would love to do a film with another actor
friend. In fact, I have had a word with some
of my colleagues in the industry. We were
discussing and planning to do a two-hero
film. So let's see what happens. It's only
about finding the right script that does
justice to both actors."
