Akshay Kumar–Rohit Shetty Collaboration To Feature Devgan

  It looks like  Rohit Shetty is  all set to aggrandize his khaki quotient significantly. After Ajay Devgan’s Singham and  Ranveer Singh’s Simmba , it is Akshay Kumar as  the honest fearless  patriotic  cop Suryavanshi  in Rohit Shetty’s film of that title. 

But  the most exciting  aspect  of this collaboration  is the  apparent  presence  of Ajay Devgan in an  extended  guest appearance. Devgan who last  partnered  with Akshay 25 years ago in Suhaag.
 Though nothing  is official  as yet  a source  in  the know spills the details, “Akshay and  Rohit Shetty wanted  to work together for  the  longest time.  They finally came  up with the  idea  of cops action-thriller , a genre that Akshay has  not explored  for  a very long time. He wanted to do a cops actioner with  Rohit Shetty,but one that  is completely different from  the Singham series.”

Apparently  Suryavanshi is  going  to be  an entirely different  cops film. 

Says  the  source, “Akshay wants to explore the patriotic space which he has patented, from the khaki point of  view. He  has played  cops  but  not  in recent  years. It will be  a cop freed  of the grey zone that Rohit Shetty’s Singham and  Simmba franchise  will occupy.Akshay’s  cop-character Suryavanshi will be so righteous he  will seem like a angel in Khaki.”

Incidentally, Salman  Khan had starred in  a film called Suryavanshi in 1992 which was  miserable flop. The Amitabh Bachchan starrer Sooryvansham in 1999 was also a  flop.
