Good Newwz: WHAT! Akshay Kumar Let Go A Big Budget Film For This Comedy Drama

Karan Johar’s Good Newzz starring Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani surprised the fans with a hilarious trailer yesterday. The goof-up of sperms and the aftermath seem to be an impressive story that the audience is looking forward to, but did you know Akshay dropped a big-budget project for Good Newzz?

Yes, you read that right. Karan Johar himself revealed that he had offered Akshay a big-budget film considering that he is a megastar but he chose to do a film with Kareena Kapoor Khan as he liked the story of the film. During the trailer launch event, Karan revealed, “I have loved Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s films and I always wanted to make such movies but Dharma (his production house) has never made a film like that.”

“I went with a big film to Akshay because he is a mega movie star. Akshay’s uniqueness is that he searches for content. He never looks for scale or opulence or who is the director. He is one superstar who has always supported first-time directors and that’s rare for a movie star,” said the Good Newzz producer.
