Akshay Kumar And Emraan Hashmi To Team Up For Hindi Remake Of Malayalam Film Driving Licence: Report

If reports are to be believed, Raj Mehta who helmed Good Newwz has managed to pull a casting coup of sorts by casting Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi in his next project. One hears that this film which will be backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, is a remake of the 2019 Malayalam flick Driving Licence.

A News18 report quoted a source as saying, "This is the first time the two actors are going to work together. The film is a remake of the Malayalam film Driving License which featured Prithviraj Sukumaran and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead roles. While Akshay steps into the shoes of Prithviraj and plays a superstar, Emraan will reprise the role of a traffic inspector who is also a diehard fan of the superstar which was originally portrayed by Suraj."
