The industry grapevine is that megastar Amitabh Bachchan has been roped in to play the role of a transgender, which was essayed by Sarath Kumar in the original. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Tusshar Kapoor will also star in the film. It will be interesting to see how brand Kanchana, which cemented Lawrencce’s career as a filmmaker, will be received by Bollywood audiences.

Kanchana 3 has struck gold at the box-office, despite being panned by critics. In its first week worldwide, the film has minted 100 crore. Released simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi, Kanchana 3 has worked big time with the masses. Kanchana 3, which heavily borrows all the popular horror tropes from its predecessors, is centered on its protagonist Raghava, who will scream and run for life at the mere mention of the word ghost.

Akshay has his hands full with projects -- apart from Laaxmi Bomb, he also has Good News (with Kareena Kapoor), Housefull 4 and Mission Mangal. His last film, Kesari, was a mega hit and has made an estimated 204.33 crore in worldwide collection.
