As per reports in a tabloid, Akshay Kumar will be playing the role of a brave man, who gets possessed by a transgender in the Hindi remake of 'Kanchana'.
Akshay Kumar is all set to be seen in the Hindi remake of Tamil horror flick Kanchana. With this film, Akshay will be returning to the horror-comedy genre after many years as the last one was Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The movie will be directed by Raghava Lawrence, who even helmed the Tamil flick in the year 2011. Akshay is paired opposite Kiara Advani in the film and they will soon start shooting for the film.
In the original film, the lead actor was a scaredy cat, who fears everything. However, as per reports in Mid Day, Akshay's character in Kanchana remake will be the exact opposite of that. He will not be scared of the supernatural powers and won't be possessed by the three ghosts as shown in the Tamil film. Akshay's character will only be haunted by a transgender. The makers decided to tweak the plot and rewrite the dialogues so as to match up with the sensibilities of the Hindi audience.
Talking about it, a source stated to the tabloid, "While the premise remains the same, Akshay's character has been chalked out as one who doesn't fear the supernatural. The makers also reworked the narrative to create a meaty role for Kiara Advani, who plays Akshay's wife. In the original film, the hero's mother and sister-in-law have pivotal parts. In the Hindi counterpart, the sequence where Akshay's character is possessed by a ghost - the turning point in the story - will take place at Kiara's house. Her character will play a crucial role in his exorcism. Finally, Akshay will be possessed by one ghost - that of the transgender, Lakshmi - and not three ghosts as seen in the Tamil movie."
The horror-comedy flick will be produced by Shabina Khan, who had produced Akshay starrer Rowdy Rathore.
