Akshay Kumar would love to work with Mohanlal in a Malayalam movie, says will talk to Priyadarshan

Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal are two of the biggest movie stars in the country and a movie featuring the two of them would be a cause of celebration for thousands of fans. Akshay, who is currently busy promoting his upcoming movie Raksha Bandhan, has now said that he would love to team up with Mohanlal for a movie.

Talking to the media during the upcoming movie’s promotion, Akshay was asked if he would like to star in a Malayalam remake of Raksha Bandhan. As reported by Times of India, the actor said that he would love to star in it, but he does not know Malayalam and that he prefers to dub for his movies himself. He then stated once again that he would love to work in a Malayalam movie.

“I did a Tamil film with Rajinikanth sir, I have worked in a Kannada film. It would be my privilege to work in Malayalam. I should talk to Priyadarshan about it, and ask him if he can cast me with Mohanlal. It would be an honour to do that,” Akshay added.

The Priyadarshan-Mohanlal combination has given Malayalam cinema a long list of iconic movies, some of which have been remade in Hindi starring Akshay Kumar. Garam Masala and Khatta Meetta starring Akshay are Hindi remakes of Priyadarshan’s Malayalam movies Vellanakalude Naadu and Boeing Boeing respectively.

Akshay Raksha Bandhan, which also stars Bhumi Pednekar, Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Smrithi Srikanth and Deepika Khanna, is set to hit theatres on August 11. Directed by Aanand. L. Rai, the movie will clash with Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha at the box office.

Mohanlal, who was last seen in 12th Man (Disney+ Hotstar), has a long list of movies in the works, which includes Alone and Monster.
