After working with veteran Mithun Chakraborty in his last release 'Housefull 2', Akshay Kumar developed a cordial bond with the retro star. During the making of the film Akshay expressed his desire to work with Mithun and it seems that his wish has certainly come out true. 

Akshay Kumar, who recently announced his co-production with Himesh Reshammiya has apparently offered Mithun Da a meaty role in the same film. The film which was recently in news for roping in Nargis Fakhri as its female lead now has an added attraction in the name of Mithun Da who reportedly has also agreed to be a part of the film. 

The role was earlier offered to Amitabh Bachchan and later was apparently being considered to be offered to Anil Kapoor. However, it finally fell into the lap of the 'disco dancer'.

The role is that of an underworld don who also plays Nargis Fakhri's onscreen brother in the film.
