Dil Raju and Akshay Kumar
A few days back, reports were rife that Salman Khan is in advanced talks with South director Vamsi Paidipally and producer Dil Raju for a big masala movie. While there is no new information on that front, the producer is currently developing a film fronted by Akshay Kumar. In an official statement, the producer`s team shared that they are developing a project with Akshay Kumar. They also requested all to not spread any misinformation regarding the project as it was rumoured that it is the remake of a South film.
In their statement, Dil Raju’s team said, “In light of recent rumours and ongoing speculation surrounding the upcoming projects of Producer Dil Raju and Sri Venkateswara Creations, we wish to clarify that these reports are entirely baseless and have been blown out of proportion. Several outdated speculations are being linked to current developments, which is inaccurate."
