Actor-producer Akshay Kumar says that he wants to be part of Hindi remake of Marathi film Balak Palak which was produced by his close actor-producer friend Riteish Deshmukh.
He was interacting with media at the trailer launch of his upcoming Marathi production Chumbak, along with the film’s cast — Swanand Kirkire, Sahil Jadhav, Sangram Desai and director Sandeep Modi, in Mumbai on Thursday.
Balak Palak (2013), produced by Deshmukh, is a comedy-drama film on the subject of sex education.
Asked which Marathi film he wants to remake, Kumar said: “There was a film which I watched... Balak Palak... and it’s really a bold film. I think Marathi cinema is much bolder in its content and doesn’t shy away from presenting taboo subjects. I would like to remake that film.”
Asked if he wants to continue doing socially-relevant films like Pad Man and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, he quipped: “Now I am also going to do one more social film called Housefull 4.”
“I like doing all kinds of cinema. I don’t have a particular image and I don’t want to tag myself. I keep on breaking my image all the time and it always comes as a challenge for me. As an actor also, it keeps you going,” he added.
The actor will be next seen in Reema Kagti’s sports drama Gold and Shankar’s science fiction film 2.0.
