Akshay Kumar decides against doing Omung Kumar’s Five

Akshay Kumar has opted out of Omung Kumar’s upcoming film ‘Five’, after the actor decided against doing the film because of date issues. Industry sources say, Akshay liked the script but couldn’t do the film because of his packed schedule in 2017.

The superstar, who is currently shooting for his next film ‘Jolly LLB 2’, will be working on two Neeraj Pandey films ‘Crack’ and ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’. He also has the big-budget and keenly-awaited film ‘Robot 2.0’ where he will be seen sharing screen-space with Tamil superstar Rajnikanth.

After a highly-successful 2016 with 3 back-to-back hits in ‘Airlift’, ‘Housefull 3’ and ‘Rustom’, Akshay looks forward to what could well be the biggest year of his career in 2017.

  • Would have been treat to watch akki playing 5 different characters.

    His look from robot:2 is dissappointing.

    Crack looks fab.

    Excited to know why his other movie is named – Toilet ek prem katha.

    Jolly LLB2, not expecting Rustom like opening. Looks more of a WOM movie. Max 12 crores on day1 that too if it releases solo and not against Sushant-Kriti movie

  • he has already four releases in 2017 and all of them are looking better as compared to 2016!!! I think in 2018 his first movie will be priyadarshan’s comedy flick including akshay and paresh rawal!!!!

  • Instead he is doing a film with Priyadarshan produced by Rohit Shetthy.
    @indicine is it conformed as many sites reported that news few days ago.

  • 2007 is The Biggest Year Of Akshay’s career with 1 hit, 2 superhit & 1 blockbuster So will be Tough To match it As festival Release has Become important to give blockbuster movies now From which all 3 Khans gets benefits.!

  • It become nowdays a normal thing for giving a 100 cr film. Even varun and Arjin Kapoor delivered 100 cr but the superstar of flops I.e Akshay Kumar is throwing and hosting multiple parties for just crossing 100 cr ?

  • Akshay Kumar fans are crying for EDX release but they seem like they forget everytime Akki got a chance for a festive release, he messes up..like In 2010 he got Diwali as well as Xmas release and the result was DISASTER. ?

  • After a long time I have heard the news of Akshay walking out of a movie . It is a really good decision as Omung Kumar is not a solid director as he could not do justice to Mary Kom and Sarbjit . Five has been officially announced for 26th Jan 2018 and now with Akshay not doing whether somebody will replace him or the film will be shelved remains to be seen . 2017 is looking huge for Akshay with Jolly LLB 2, Crack, Toilet Ek Prem Katha and Robot 2.0 .

  • Akshay Kumar is the real daredevil superstar who can dare to release his movies on non holiday with or without clash unlike some “GIGASTAR”s who give epic disasters on non holidays.These “GIGASTARS” can max give SEMI HITS on Non holidays(majorly gives flops).
    So this is the proof why we call him non holiday king.
    #NO ARGUMENT
    #BUT REAL TRUTH

  • Waiting for the big announcement on Priyadarshan/Rohit Shetty movie with Akshay and Paresh Rawal. For that one Akshay opt out of Five.

  • Neeraj Pandey ne zindagi hi badal di akki. Had neeraj not been there akkis superstar status would hv been finished already. Great to know akki will b seen in two back to back neeraj pandey films – Crack & Toilet

    Btw adv booking for Neeraj’s next Dhoni is huge. Neeraj is all set to make a big star out of Sushanth

  • Akshay is not doing FIVE because of Rohit Shetty’s production movie which is going to direct by Priyadarshan and Akshay starring that movie along with Paresh Rawal is this true ?

  • Good decision…!!!
    I’m happy he opted out
    Now waiting for official confirmation of
    Priyadarshan/Rohit shetty movie starring
    Akshay Kumar and paresh rawal

  • If Akshay Kumar is not doing Five then Big B Should do it. Beside Akshay, Big B is the one who Can perfectly live up to this character. I think Big B does not have date issues.

    Aamir, Salman, Shahrukh, Ajay also have packed schedule, don’t know much about Hrithik. So There is only one actor left who can do this role and this is Bollywood’s King Amitabh – Who is ruling Bollywood for more than 40 years.

  • 2017 will be huge for akki sir I just can’t wait to see him rock with jolly llb2,Toilet,crack,and Robot 2.0 and I hope he will release Toilet on good friday holiday in 14 April and Robot 2.0 on dilwale

  • Actually The Word ‘Against’ used by indicine does not Suit in Title. It Conveys the message that Akshay rejected Five for another movie. Five was offerred to him when he had already signed TEPK and CRACK.

  • Five will be a good movie I think. A person doing five character is certainaly interesting and It’s genre is also exciting. Have watched Tamil Actor Vikram’s Aparichit earlier. Heard He has done 2 different characters in IruMugan also.

    Five is on my watch list.

  • arjun youngistan really neeraj pandey change the life of akki ….. According to this arjun fan if akki s26 nahi kiya hota to abhi industry se bahar hota …..
    akki did 2 movie with neeraj
    baby above average
    s26 semi hit …..

    LoL …..

  • Finally floppy is back…poor guy couldn’t have thought any thing 2 comment after super success of rustom against a big budget film starring another superstar..poor guy, now turned into next youngestan fan

  • Listen bangali idiot @ARJUN dashistaan

    AKSHAY had 2 big hits in 2012 plus OMG which did 85 cr business in 2012 while neeraj s26 did 69 cr business in 2013 Toh Neeraj ne kya zindgi badal di?

    Baby did 95 in 2015 while holiday did 112 in 2014 Toh kya zindgi badal di?

    Airlift, Rustom both with new comers still 125 plus .

    Neeraj has only helped AKSHAY as an actor, not in a commercial way, Akshay will always be a big commercial star .6 100 cr with 6 different directors on non holiday says all about his stardom…! Directors depends on him, not AKSHAY.

    Your cmnts are still as Silly as they were before. No improvement, time flies when you are a piece of shit…!
