Bhushan
Kumar recently announced the biopic of his father Gulshan Kumar titled Mogul
with superstar Akshay Kumar in the lead to be directed by Subhash Kapoor. While
Mogul will begin shoot end of 2017, Akshay will also be a part of Divya Khosla
Kumar’s next directorial film. Confirming the same Bhushan Kumar said, ‘To make
my father’s biopic is an extremely emotional feeling for me. It’s not just a
film. My father is my guiding force in life and this film is my tribute to him.
Akshay playing my father was my first choice. When I took the film to Akshay,
he not only said a yes immediately, but also never once discussed monies. Just
like me, he too loves his father and for him being a part of Mogul is an
emotional decision. Akshay will also be a part of my wife Divya Khosla Kumar’s
directed film. Divya has been working on her script. While Akshay has liked the
structure and zone of the film, Divya still wanted more work done. She is in no
hurry and given that Akshay is a superstar, she doesn’t want to leave any stone
unturned to give him the best script. She wants to take more time to develop it
to her complete satisfaction post which they will start shooting for the same.’
