Akshay Kumar and Rohit Shetty are teaming up for the first time. They have already announced their association with a small clip, that played out at the end of the director’s latest hit, ‘Simmba’.Simmba is already the third highest grossing film of 2018 and is headed towards Rs 200 crore mark. The director and actor are planning to kickstart the film sometime around April and release it on December 27, just like his latest release that hit screens in the last week of 2017.
A source told an entertainment website, "There's hardly any space for a heroine. That's how most of Rohit's films are designed except a few. The cop dramas have always had minute roles for all the actresses and it's a similar case for 'Sooryavanshi' as well."
The source added, "Pooja Hegde will be seen opposite Akshay. He has been instrumental in telling Rohit to consider her for the part. Akshay and Pooja are paired opposite each other in one of the portions in 'Housefull 4."
Akshay Kumar made a surprise appearance at the end of Simmba as ATS chief Veer Sooryavanshi. Revealing the title of his film to be Sooryavanshi, the text appeared on screen that he'll be taking charge in 2019. Interestingly, just like Simmba, Sooryavanshi too will be a part of the Singham universe.
