Priyadarshan not working with Akshay Kumar

Filmmaker Priyadarshan has denied rumours that he is next will star Akshay Kumar.

Last week, Kumar was declared the Best Actor at the National Film Awards. This led to some questioning Kumar’s win. However, Priyadarshan defended the jury’s decision leading to speculation that the two were set to collaborate on a film.

Talking about this, Priyadarshan told DNA India, “I am not doing any film with Akshay. The only two films that I am in talks with actors for, are with Abhishek Bachchan for Bachchan Singh (working title) which is a pure commercial entertainer written by Rumi Jaffrey and Ajay Devgn for the Hindi remake of Oppam. I don’t know why people feel that I can solely influence a jury of 12 to take such an important call. The jury members are artists from all the country and various regional movies. I am just the Chairperson and it was a unanimous decision to vote for Akshay.”
