Did You Know That The Producers Of 'Toilet-Ek Prem Katha' Did Not Want To Cast Akshay Kumar Initially?

Akshay Kumar’s movies have always managed to garner audiences’ attention. And so his upcoming movie 'Toilet-Ek Prem Katha' which talks about the issue of open defecation. Since the movie talks about the social issue, therefore it has also received support of the government.

Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chairperson Pahlaj Nihal watched the trailer of the movie. He was so impressed that he expressed of making the movie tax free. But we have a piece of information that might surprise you all. We have got to know that the Khiladi Kumar was not the first choice for the movie.

Siddharth and Garima, the script writers of the movie, have revealed that they wrote the script keeping Akshay in mind. But the production house was not in favour of keeping the actor. They also fought with the production house to get Akki on board. “We faced minor problems with the production house because they wanted a younger face. In fact, Neeraj sir was never convinced that Akshay would suit the role well. He felt Aki will not be able to pull it off. But we always thought that this movie can easily be passed as Akshay Kumar’s film because he has suited the role so well. And another reason to sign him was the fact that he hasn’t attempted such movie ever before. He has been doing real cinema but this is like the complete departure from his previous works,” said Siddharth. Even Garima has the same thing to say.

We are sure that the makers must be applauding their decision of keeping Akshay. Just like its trailer which has knocked everyone’s socks, we hope that the movie will also leave an impression on the audience.
