Akshay Kumar's popularity among his leading ladies remains undiminished. For proof, do that. Three of his favourite co-stars Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi Sinha and Deepika Padukone have, within the words of somebody on the subject of the project, "shown varying degrees of interest" in doing the Hindi version of the Tamil Diwali blockbuster Thuppakki that is currently ruling the box-office.Now, there may well be two other reasons besides Akshay Kumar, in these three lovely ladies' keen interest in doing Thuppakki. The film has broken all previous records in Tamil cinema, exceeding the collections of even the largest Rajinikanth blockbusters. On the same time, this action-oriented film offers the leading lady a possibility to play a boxer.
We hear three of Akshay's leading ladies feel they're eminently qualified. Says our source, "After the serious experience of doing Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Katrina is these days on the lookout for something fun to do in her next project. The Thuppakki remake will give her that sense of unwinding. Besides, she's been dying to do something with producer Vipul Shah and Akshay Kumar for the longest time. She had a marvelous time working with them in Namastey London and because the Namastey London sequel isn't happening immediately, she is pleasant to taking over the challenge of doing the remake of Thuppakki."
Deepika Padukone may beat Katrina to it just by default. "She was offered the unique Tamil film, but couldn't do it as a result of date issues. Now Deepika is the highest contender for the boxer's role in Hindi, and mainly because she by nature an athlete and have been on the lookout for a sporty role," says our source.
We hear Kajal Aggarwal who plays the lead within the original Tamil film isn't eligible for the remake. Says our source, "THE FORGED can be totally different. Both Vipul and Akshay feel the remake have to be different in look. Sonakshi Sinha has also expressed interest within the role."
When contacted, producer Vipul Shah completely reduce reports that Parineeti Chopra have been signed opposite Akshay. "IT USUALLY IS any of the women you've mentioned. We're very sure that the remake must be very different from the unique. Vijay, who stars in Thuppakki, is a superstar in Tamil cinema. With Akshay, the remake will acquire a bigger appeal. So yes, the leading lady can be different from the Tamil film."
In fact, Vipul's current blue-eyed boy Vidyut Jamwal who played the villain in Vipul's production Force wouldn't encore his villainous role from Thuppakki. Asserts Vipul, "I CAN by no means cast Vidyut because the villain. I'M launching him as a hero in Commando. So the villain too could be played by a unique actor within the remake. You see, the entire idea is to provide the remake of Thuppakki a fresh look. Our director Murugadoss, Akshay and that i will lock in at the heroine once we all know who can look convincing as a boxer."
One hears Deepika may beat Katrina and Sonakshi to the role. Says the director A. Murugadoss, "We'll decide who plays the leading lady when we all sit to talk about the problem. The girl's character will change in Hindi. Within the Tamil film, she's a funny boxer. She has nothing to do with Mary Kom. In Hindi, we can now take references from Mary Kom and provides the nature more gravity."
