Akshay recently played Samrat Prithviraj as well. However, that particular role did not do any wonders for him. It will be the perfect chance for him to showcase his talent in a historical role. Chhatrapati Shivaji was known for his valour and positive mindset that set the stage for many revolutions.
Vedat Marathe Veer Daudale Saat can prove to be a very successful movie for Akshay Kumar if handled with dexterity. It is being produced by Vaseem Qureshi’s Qureshi Productions.
