Akshaye Khanna To Play The Antagonist In 'Ittefaq' Remake

Akshaye Khanna, who marked his comeback with Rohit Dhawan's latest release Dishoom, has bagged another project. If reports are to be believed, then he will star in the remake of 1969 classic Ittefaq.

Khanna had played the villain in Dishoom and he will play the antagonist in Ittefaq's remake as well. B.R. Chopra's grandson Abhay will direct the film and he has changed the script to contemporize it. Sources claim that the new script has been written specifically for Akshaye.

The film also stars Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha and is expected to go on floors in a few months' time.
