Akshay Kumar grow beard for Deepa’s Kamagata Maru…
Akshay Kumar has been soaring high no matter got failures recently. He has been signed by Deepa Mehta in a film titled, ‘Kamagata Maru’. It has been learnt that Akshay will grow real beard for this role of a Sikh. Last we saw him playing a Sikh in Anees Bazmee’s Singh is King.
Akshay Kumar’s role in Deepa’s film is of a real life Sardarji who sailed in the fateful ship named Kamagata Maru from Hong Kong to Vancouver in 1914. Akshay wants to take no chances for this role. We have heard that Akshay will be growing the beard to the size stiplulated by the Sikh community. To grow the beard and to give a perfect look of a Sardarji, Akshay has decided to set aside all his other commitments for Kamagata Maru.
On this Deepa Mehta says, “Akshay is so amazing. Considering he has so much work on hand I was surprised when he absolutely insisted on growing a full-length beard. One of the reasons I postponed Kamagata Maru to to next year was so that Akshay would be able to block an entire chunk of dates for my film and keep the beard. I was very sure that I didn’t want him for a month and then return with a false beard and finish my film. It’s very important for actors to respect continuity. That’s the only way to work.”
Why Deepa cast Akshay in this role? Because she has watched him Singh is King. She says, “I thought he made a very good Sardar. He has a very Panju-Sardar look. Akshay has to play a 48-year old Sardar. And he’s absolutely fine with a salt-and-pepper beard.”
et’s wait to watch how this Sardarji does with this role?
