The announcement that Akshay Kumar will star in Ajay Devgn's next directorial effort sent shockwaves around the internet over the weekend. This would mark the seventh collaboration between the two stars, following Suhaag (1994) Khakee (2004), Insan (2005), Simmba (2018), Sooryavanshi (2021), and Singham Again. It appears that plans are currently underway to include more A-list actors in the project. Devgn is eager to have Vicky Kaushal play the role of the parallel lead, and the latest reports have gathered that the film is an action comedy starring two heroes.
Vicky Kaushal considered as parallel lead
As per MidDay, Kaushal has left a lasting impression on Devgn, and the latter admires his commitment to his career. Devgn thought it would be intriguing to pair Kumar and Kaushal since the two main roles complement each other, according to the source. At the same time, the insider states that Kumar was thrilled with the plot because it gave him the chance to showcase his talents in both action and comedy.

The insider went on to say that Devgn is now shooting for Son of Sardaar 2 after which he has De De Pyaar De 2, Rangers, and Indra Kumar's Dhamaal 4.
