Akshay to play Gulshan Kumar

Music mogul Gulshan Kumar’s rags-to-riches story is the stuff legends are made of. From being a household name with his devotional music to becoming the one-man music industry with T-Series, his larger-than-life story is set to get captured in a biopic titled Mogul and the lead will be played by Akshay Kumar. The actor reportedly shared a special bond with the emperor of music, Gulshan Kumar.

Says Akshay about the biopic, “I had the good fortune of knowing Gulshanji well. My association with him started right from my first film Saugandh. We both shared many things in common and come from a similar background. And I am very excited to play him on-screen.”

Akshay tweeted the first look poster of the movie and wrote, “My association with Him began with my very first film. He was The Emperor Of Music! Now know His story... #Mogul, The Gulshan Kumar story!”

Gulshan Kumar’s son Bhushan Kumar added, “Mogul is not a film for me. It’s my dream come true. My father has been my guiding force all through my life and I have always felt his presence with me in everything I do. I always knew that one day I would make Mogul and share my father’s amazing story with the world. I am also extremely happy that my mother Sudesh Kumari will be producing the film. And I can think of no one better than Akshay to play him on-screen.”
