Biopics are sure on a roll in Bollywood!
Sources reveal that director Rohit Jugraj has approached
Dara Singh's son
Vindu Dara Singh with a project with Akshay Kumar playing the lead.
Apparently, Akshay is keen to portray Dara Singh, but he needs time to work on his physique.
Confirming the same, Vindu said, "Yes, Rohit Jugraj has approached me to make a film on my father's life. Akshay is the one chosen to play my father in this project. However, he would need time to bulk up. Also, all these things (cricket betting scam) happened and I didn't want to embarrass Akshay by connecting with him at that time."
Interestingly, there is another Dara Singh biopic in the pipeline, which is in Punjabi.
Says Vindu, "Yes, I've been approached by the producers of Jatt & Juliet with a Punjabi film where they want Sangram Singh to play my dad. Let's see which one materialises first."
