Even as Akshay Kumar gets ready for the release of Mission Mangal–based on ISRO’s Mars orbiter mission–reports of another biopic starring him have started trickling in.
Apparently, Akshay Kumar will be joining director Neeraj Pandey (of A Wednesday fame), in a biopic on the life of current National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval.
Ajit Doval is the fifth and current National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister of India and has previously served as the Director of Intelligence Bureau. Furthermore, it was under his supervision that the 2016 Indian Line of Control and the 2019 Balakot airstrike were undertaken.
Neeraj Pandey and Akshay Kumar have worked together in the past on Special 26 and Baby. Neeraj was also the director for M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story – a biopic based on the life of Indian cricketer M.S. Dhoni.
As of now, no official announcement about the project has been made.
