Akshay Kumar confused about doing Dara Singh biopic: Vindhu

Actor Vindhu Dara Singh says superstar Akshay Kumar is in two minds about doing the biopic on his late wrestler-actor father Dara Singh. "Yes, we have spoken to Akshay about the biopic. He hasn't heard the script yet. He knows we want him in the film. He is little confused, he is thinking," Vindhu said.

Vindhu who has worked with Akshay in films like ‘Kambakkht Ishq,’ ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi,’ and ‘Joker,’ feels the Khiladi Kumar is the apt choice for his father Dara Singh's biopic. "Akshay thinks he needs to bulk up for the role, I don't think so. I think he needs to be like what he was in 'Brothers' or may be 10 per cent more. I think he will be wonderful as Dara Singh," he said.

Mahrukh Asad Mirza, who wrote films like Amitabh Bachchan-starrer ‘Kasme Vaade,’ has written the script for the biopic of the late wrestler-actor. The 52-year-old actor plans to begin shooting for the film from next year. Singh made a name in the field of professional wrestling and had over 500 professional fights to his credit, all undefeated. He announced his retirement from wrestling in 1983. He had won the title of 'Rustam-E-Punjab' and 'Rustam-e-Hind' for his wrestling prowess.
