Mogul, a biopic based on the life of distinguished music baron, Gulshan Kumar, was to star Akshay Kumar in the lead role. It was only in March that Akshay had given his nod for the project and had shard the news on his Twitter handle. He had posted, “My association with Him began with my very first film. He was The Emperor of Music. Now know His story… #Mogul, The Gulshan Kumar story!”
However, according to latest media reports, Akshay Kumar has walked out of the film realizing that the film may end up being too controversial considering the way Gulshan Kumar was killed. To be written and directed by Subhash Kapoor, the film was being bankrolled by Gulshan Kumar’s son, Bhushan Kumar, under T-Series banner.
Meanwhile Akshay Kumar is waiting for his forthcoming film Padman. Padman is to release on the Republic Day.
