Akshay Kumar is the busiest star of Bollywood
Akshay Kumar, who is known for his versatility and work ethic, is all set to entertain his fans with multiple releases in 2024. The actor, who is currently shooting for his upcoming comedy film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, has already locked his next project with acclaimed director, Sudha Kongara. The film, which is tentatively titled Start Up, is a biopic on the life of Ramasamy Gopinath, the founder of Air Deccan, India’s first low-cost airline.
According to Pinkvilla, Akshay Kumar, along with producers Vikram Malhotra and Suriya, has decided to release the film on July 12, 2024, after the T-20 World Cup. The film was earlier scheduled to release on February 16, but the makers felt that the post-World Cup window would be more suitable for the film’s genre and content.
Start Up is a high-on-content film with a stellar cast and crew
Start Up, which is still a working title, will soon reveal its official name with a video asset. The film is directed by Sudha Kongara, who has previously helmed critically acclaimed films like Irudhi Suttru and Soorarai Pottru. The film is also a musical treat for the fans, as it has music composed by GV Prakash, who has delivered some chartbuster songs in the past.
The film also boasts of a stellar cast, which includes Akshay Kumar in the lead role of Ramasamy Gopinath, and Suriya in a special cameo role. Suriya, who is also one of the producers of the film, has collaborated with Sudha Kongara in Soorarai Pottru, which was also a biopic on the aviation industry. The film also features other talented actors like R Madhavan, Radhika Apte, and Nithya Menen in pivotal roles.
Start Up is a film that will appeal to the masses and the classes
The makers of Start Up are confident that the film will strike a chord with the audiences, as it has a powerful story and a charismatic star. The film is a tribute to the entrepreneurial spirit of Ramasamy Gopinath, who revolutionized the Indian aviation sector by making air travel affordable for the common man. The film will showcase the challenges and struggles that he faced in his journey, as well as the triumphs and achievements that he accomplished.
The film will also highlight the personal and professional relationship between Akshay Kumar and Suriya, who play friends and rivals in the film. The film will have a longer campaign with multiple asset drops leading to its release, to generate buzz and excitement among the fans. The film is expected to be a blockbuster hit, as it has a perfect release date, a strong content, and a popular star cast.
