Kannappa: Why did Akshay Kumar say no to ‘Lord Shiva’ Twice?

Akshay Kumar has many big films in his hands right now. This year his ‘Skyforce’ has already been released. Although the makers have been accused of manipulating the film’s collection, he has told the truth about it. Right now he is busy shooting for Bhoot Bangla, which will be released next year. But this year Akshay Kumar has many big films to release. This includes a South film, named – Kanappa. The film is releasing in theatres on 25 April. In this film, Akshay Kumar plays the role of Lord Shiva. But do you know that he has rejected this role twice?

‘Kanappa’ is Vishnu Manchu’s dream project. This is the reason why it is being made with a huge budget of Rs 140 crore. Many big stars are going to have cameos in this mythological film. This includes Akshay Kumar as well as Prabhas, who is playing the role of Rudra of Shiva. But why did Akshay Kumar reject the film twice and how did he agree?

Did Akshay not want to become Lord Shiva?

In an interview given to Hollywood Reporter, Vishnu Manchu gave amazing information about Akshay Kumar’s role. He said that Akshay Kumar was contacted twice for the role of ‘Lord Shiva’. But the actor refused both times. This means that he was not interested in doing this role. However, the third time, with the help of a prominent director, Akshay Kumar was persuaded to do this role.

Akshay’s Approval

Why was he refusing this role? Information about this has not been found. But it is possible that he did not have time due to other projects. Or he agreed later due to the expectations of the public with the role of Lord Shiva. But how did he agree? Vishnu Manchu said that Akshay was told that many actors have played the role of Lord Shiva before. But for this generation, he should become the face of God. But Vishnu Manchu did not reveal the name of the director because of whom Akshay agreed. Recently Akshay Kumar’s first look from the film was revealed. Trishul in one hand, Damru in the other… Rudraksha garland around the neck and Rudraksha around the waist too. Akshay Kumar’s look was liked by everyone. .
