Akshay Kumar hasn’t shot for a single day’s schedule of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2 — yet, Ekta Kapoor and Milan Luthria are certain that the film will be ready for release by Independence Day next year. So is this is case of wishful thinking? No, say sources. “The film’s script has been finalised and a parallel leading man is being chosen. Akki is very keen on starting work as this will prove to be the one film in his current line-up that really breaks through the clutter,” says an aide of the actor. Also in Milan’s favour is the fact that Akki works quite fast on his assignments. “His films take about 50-70 days to complete, and OUAT won’t be any different,” says Akki’s aide.
