This may well be the casting coup of all times. Bollywood Badshah SRK will be seen on-screen with none other than Khiladi Akshay Kumar. Director Sajid Khan is keen to cast the two in his next film. If things work
out, we might see the two stars dazzle on –screen before long.
Both SRK and Akshay have been reigning stars for years now but they haven't worked together yet.
There have also been media reports about the alleged rivalry between the two. Shah Rukh scoring at the
box-office and Akshay emerging as the highest tax payer has only elevated the hype surrounding them.
Sajid Khan has sent feelers to both and they haven't said no. So there's a good chance that they may
consent to star in his next together. Sajid Khan reported said that the two stars didn't refuse on being asked so there's always a possibility.
Sajid is presently gearing up for the release of his film Housefull starring Akshay, Lara Dutta and Deepika Padukone. He has cast Akshay in both of his directorial ventures Heyy Baby and the upcoming
Housefull.
It may be recalled that Shah Rukh had done a special appearance in the song Mast Kalandar in Heyy Baby, where grooved along with Akshay and Ritiesh. Sajid's sister Farah Kahn is SRK's buddy
and has worked with him in all her projects.
But while she makes the switch to Akshay in her next Tees Maar Khan, Sajid prefers to have both superstars in his film. He is confident of doing justice to their
talents. It will surely be interesting to see the two Bollywood luminaries share screen space.
