The movie is a remake of Malayalam film 'Pokkiri Raja' and can be directed by Anthony D'Souza, who worked with Akshay in "Blue". The 2010 Malayalam film featured Mammooty, Prithviraj and Shriya Sharan within the lead.
The Hindi version, either to be titled "Naam Hai Boss" or "Boss" will see Akshay moving into the shoes of Mammooty. "IT'S for the primary time that there'll be no heroine opposite Akshay Kumar within the film.
He is playing the role of Mammooty. But there'll be two young newcomers - one hero and heroine," sources as regards to the project told. Actor Mithun Chakraborty has also been roped in for the project, sources added.
The writers of the Hindi version, Sajid-Farhad, are fascinated about the the project. "WE'RE writing the screenplay and dialogues for this film. The elemental plot... soul of this movie remains roughly same. But we will be able to definitely make numerous changes considering the presence of Akshay and the audience," Sajid-Farhad said.
The shooting of the film will commence this month or September and it'll release next year.
