After dabbling with acting in comedy and drama films in the past, veteran actor Dara Singh’s son, Vindu Dara Singh is all set to play producer. The latest we hear is that Vindu has finalised a few scripts, which have been cleared for production under his banner, and Akshay Kumar will be a part of his first movie.

A close source says, “Vindu, who is close to Akshay, has been talking to him for a few films, and the first film under the banner will feature Akki in the lead role. The film will only start rolling by the end of 2017, since Akshay is busy with a huge line-up of films.”

The source also reveals that Vindu decided to make the switch from acting to production after a certain turn of events last year. Vindu’s choice of lead actor, too, doesn’t come as much of a surprise, given that him and Akshay have worked together in films like Kambakkht Ishq, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Housefull, Housefull 2 and Joker. Akshay has been pretty close to the Singh family too.

The actor has a huge list of movies to run through before he settles on Vindu’s movie. Completely packed, Akki’s year in movies will see him star in Naam Shabana, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Rajinikanth’s 2.0 and Jolly LLB 2.
