Akshay Kumar to romance Rakul Preet Singh in Bell Bottom director Ranjit Tiwaris next
A source shared with Bollywood Hungama Jackky had taken three scripts to Akshay and he liked two of them. One was a Mudassar Aziz film which Rajkummar Rao might do now. The other was a film that Bell Bottom director Ranjit Tiwari is putting together. Akshay and Ranjit have worked together on Bell Bottom and when he heard the script, he loved it and immediately decided to do it. It's another inspiring tale and is expected to kickstart sometime this year.When they were scouting for the main lead, they zeroed in on Rakul. The source further said Although Shraddha Kapoor and Kiara Advani were also in talks, Rakul bagged the part. They feel the chemistry she has with Ajay Devgn doesnt look awkward on screen despite the age difference and she would be a complete fit for this role as well.
