Shah Rukh Khan took on a mentoring role rather than a romantic one with Alia Bhatt in Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi, marking a shift in dynamics in the industry. Fast forward seven years, and now Akshay Kumar and Ananya Panday are set to portray a mentor-pupil relationship in Karan Johar’s The Untold Story Of C. Sankaran Nair. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the biopic casts Akshay Kumar in the lead role of Nair, known for his battle against the British empire concerning the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
According to insiders close to the project, Akshay Kumar and Ananya Panday assume the roles of lawyers. Akshay portrays a seasoned and highly esteemed lawyer, while Ananya’s character is a newcomer seeking guidance from Akshay’s character.
Akshay Kumar was last seen in Tinu Suresh Desai’s Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue, which premiered in October. The film centred around the remarkable efforts of Jaswant Singh Gill, who rescued a substantial number of miners trapped in a flooded mine in Raniganj in 1989. In the movie, Akshay portrayed Gill, sharing the screen with talents like Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, Pavan Malhotra, and more. Recently, the film began streaming on Netflix.
