Sonakshi Sinha uncovered Noor’s Gulabi 2.0 in
Mumbai. Also present at the event was producer Bhushan Kumar who had lately
announced a biopic, Mogul, based on his father Gulshan Kumar.
Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the movie stars Akshay
Kumar and is naturally close to Kumar’s heart.
Speaking at the song launch Kumar opened up about the
project and specified that there are a lot of resemblances between Akshay and
his father.
He told, “It is an emotional film. I am very attached
to the story. There are a lot of similarities between Akshay and my father.”
At an earlier event calling Mogul his dream, Kumar
had told, “Mogul is not a film for me. It’s my dream come true. My father has
been my guiding force all through my life and I have always felt his presence
with me in everything I do. I always knew that one day I would make Mogul and
share my father's amazing story with the world. I am also extremely happy that
my mother Sudesh Kumari will be producing the film. And I can think of no one
better than Akshay to play him on-screen.”
Speaking about the 49-year-old actor being the first choice
for the role he had disclsoed, “Akshay in the role of my father was my first
choice. When I took the film to him, he not only said
yes immediately, but also never discussed the remuneration. Being a
part of Mogul was an emotional decision for him.”
While the flick’s poster has recently been released, the
biopic will go on floors by the end of 2017.
