The Truth Behind The Reports

However, as per Pinkvilla, a source has clarified that Akshay Kumar is not involved in the Hindi remake of Sankranthiki Vasthunam. The actor had viewed the original movie as a film enthusiast, but there are no plans to remake it in Hindi. Rumors of him collaborating with Dil Raju and Anees Bazmee were untrue. Well, Kumar is actually in discussions with the Welcome director, but for another project, independent of this remake.

I don’t know whether the rumour of Sankranthiki Vasthunam hindi remake is true or not but if its discussions are currently going on then please don’t sign this unnecessary remake at any cost @akshaykumar sir instead of that do a social movie we will be happy 🙏
