Akshay Kumar will play a double role—that of a father and son in Vipul Shah’s forthcoming film “Flash Forward”. The movie will see him travelling through time from Bombay in the 1950s to the present day Mumbai in an effort to rectify a past deed, a source revealed.
The source also added that well-known set designer Nitin Desai has been approached to create the Bombay of the 1950s in his studios in Karjat over six acres of land. The set will replicate the elements of the city then— from trams to buildings to roads and cars. Nitin is also in charge of creating a time machine, which will be used by Akshay to travel through time.
“It will be a very big budget venture and the shooting is scheduled to start later this year. The travelling through time part will be the film’s main attraction as it will happen through a time machine. However, the big draw will also be Akshay who will play both the father and the son,” said the source.
In his career spanning 15 years, Akshay has acted in about 85 films and is considered as a safe box-office bet. Last year, he enjoyed four hits — “Welcome”, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa”, “Heyy Babyy” and “Namastey London”.
While Vipul Shah did admit planning a film with Akshay, he did not give the details.
