According to a Bollywood Hungama report, R Madhavan will be teaming up with Akshay Kumar for the C Sankaran Nair biopic. A source close to the project's development revealed, “R Madhavan has often associated himself with content-driven films and characters that require him to push the envelope. He was taken aback by the script of the C Sankaran Nair Biopic and decided to come on board the film. He plays the role of a lawyer, whose character traits are based on a person from that era.”
The source also revealed that Madhavan has been shooting with Akshay silently on this film for the last few days. “In-fact, both Akshay and Madhavan have done multiple script reading sessions too as there is a certain dynamic that they share in the film,” asserted the source.
“After calling it a wrap on the second schedule of C Sankaran Nair Biopic, Akshay Kumar dives into Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. He will be shooting for this action entertainer for a month in Mumbai, and then switch gears to the C Sankaran Nair Biopic again by end of February to call it a wrap on the film,” the source concluded.
The C Sankaran Nair biopic will be released in 2024. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar will be seen in Selfiee, which also stars Emraan Hashmi and will release on February 24.
