Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, who has been basking in the success of his last release Kesari, will feature in a special song for Blank with brother-in-law Karan Kapadia, who is making his Bollywood debut In the film. Blank is an action thriller starring Sunny Deol in the lead role.
Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, Akshay Kumar confirmed the news and said, “Karan has chosen an unconventional route for his debut film and I am extremely proud of him. Doing this song is my way of wishing him all the best."
“Akshay Kumar shoots for a special song for #Blank... Stars Dimple Kapadia's nephew Karan Kapadia... Directed by Behzad Khambata... The song - featuring Akshay and Karan - is composed by Arko”, writes film critic Taran Adarsh.
In an interview to news agency IANS, Karan Kapadia said that he lost several kilos and trained in martial arts for six months to prepare for his role. "I've learnt to ride a horse and the bike. I've been swimming and I trained in martial arts for six months in Bangkok," he was quoted as saying.
Apart from Karan Kapadia, Sunny Deol also stars in the lead role. Ishita Dutta Sheth, previously seen in Nishikant Kamat's thriller Drishyam and Kapil Sharma-starrer Firangi, will star opposite Karan.
The film revolves around a hardened police officer (Deol) who, along with his team, gets intel on a sleeper agent (Kapadia) after months of tracking him, only to realise that the suicide bomber has suffered a memory loss.
Directed by Behzad Khambata, the film will hit theatres on 3 May.
