Akshay Kumar to make India’s first martial arts film

By Hindustan Times

Akshay Kumar, who was promoting martial arts within the country for a while now, is ready to take his passion a step further. The actor now plans to supply a full-fledged movie in line with the humanities. It is going to be the primary of its kind in India.

However, he's unlikely to behave within the film that his company Hari Om Entertainment will produce next year.

“In all likelihood, Akshay won’t star within the film. But matters are at a nascent stage right now, so it’s too early to mention evidently. He desires to make the film as authentic as possible. That’s all he's concerned about,” says an insider, adding, “Akshay desires to promote the martial arts up to he can. He feels his training within the combat form has contributed to his success as an action hero.”

Apparently, the actor is calling to rope in newcomers for the film. “Right now, the script is being worked on. Once he wraps up shooting for the flicks he's currently working on, Akshay will personally do the research and choose the forged of the film in addition to who will direct it. He doesn’t need to leave anything to chance,” reveals the insider.

In the past, the actor has launched the Akshay Kumar Invitational Kudo (Judo and Karate) Tournament for young enthusiasts within the country. “Martial arts aren't highly regarded in India, that is why he desires to help,” adds the insider.

Akshay himself remained unavailable for a comment.
