All this while, Akshay Kumar has been talking about doing an action film, but for quite some time, he has only starred in comedies with action that do not really do justice his persona. Director Ashutosh Gowariker may just change all that, as he is going to launch a mega-budgeted action film with Akshay Kumar in the lead.

A source said, “Akshay and Ashutosh have always wanted to work with each other. However, it never worked out before. In fact, Akshay himself has wanted to do an action film for a long time. When Ashu met him about six months back, Akshay loved the idea for the film.”

The director had actually gone into a shell, quietly working on a script that found instant approval from Akshay. It is believed that the actor has been so blown with the concept that he has already begun to do research for his role.

A source on the basis of anonymity from the project said, “It is an adventure movie with liberal doses of action. Ashutosh is in the process of selecting some very good technicians from Hollywood to work on the project. He will be possibly taking the film on floors next year.”

The budget of the film has been set at Rs. 80 crore. A huge corporate house has taken interest in the script and has decided to back Akshay Kumar and Ashutosh Gowariker. The source added, “The film will be shot on unexplored locales around the world. The leading lady is yet to be finalized.”
