Akshay Kumar to star in the remake of Veeram!

Megastar Akshay Kumar's calendar is full as he has flicks lined up till the year 2019. The actor is presently shooting for Reema Kagti's Gold and then will start with the promotions of his Tamil debut 2.0 and PadMan. Akshay will even star in a movie titled Kesar seemingly based on The Battle of Saragarhi.

Now, as per a famous tabloid, Akshay has signed Farhad of duo Sajid-Farhad's directorial debut supposedly titled Land of Lungi (LOL). The movie is set to be the remake of Tamil film Veeram released in the year 2014 which starred South megastar Ajith in the lead. The project will be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and will be a village-based drama, where Akshay will be donning lungi for most of the time.

Speaking about the movie, a source told to the tabloid, "Akshay hasn’t done a South remake since Boss, so this will be a good change for his fans."

Farhad has directed Akshay before in Housefull 3 with Sajid. The source further told, "Akshay is very comfortable with Farhad’s brand of humour. As for Akshay and Sajid, this will be their ninth film together. They make a great team and are good friends, too. The original film had done good business, and looking at the combination that has come together for the remake, this seems like a safe bet."

The original movie had Tamannaah Bhatia as the female lead, we have to wait to see if she will be cast in the remake too.
