Akshay Kumar signs three-film deal

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has signed a slate of three films to be jointly produced by Fox Star Studios and Cape Of Good Films.

The first film to come off this partnership will be Mission Mangal, a space drama that is in collaboration with R Balki, directed by Jagan Shakti.

The shoot for Mission Mangal will begin this month.

“I am delighted to find a new creative partner in Fox Star Studios and am looking forward to creating a collaboration that will deliver a meaningful and entertaining cinematic experience. With our combined energies we hope to create content that not only excites but also empowers,” said Kumar.

Jolly LLB 2 had marked a fruitful association between the two last year.

“It gives me great pleasure to take our association with Akshay further with this three-film partnership with Cape Of Good Films. Akshay is one of the most successful actors who has a fantastic understanding of scripts and changing audience preferences,” said Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios. —
