Have you heard? Akshay Kumar in talks for horror film with Siddharth Anand

Spooky Kumar

Akshay Kumar may finally be stepping into pure horror! After 35 years of action, comedy, thrillers, and patriotic films, the superstar is reportedly in talks for a folklore-inspired horror film with War (2019) and Pathaan (2023) director Siddharth Anand. A source revealed that the script was pitched to Akshay a few months ago, and he has apparently responded positively. While he hasn’t officially signed on, he’s reportedly quite interested. The film, centred around a father-daughter story and packed with heavy VFX, will be directed by a debutant and produced under Siddharth’s Marflix banner. Akshay’s packed slate includes, Welcome to the Jungle, OMG 3, and more. Will this horror flick mark a major genre shift for Akki? Only time will tell!
