There’s a buzz that Akshay Kumar has been asking producers to rope in Priyanka as a leading lady opposite him. The source adds, “Akshay wanted someone who’s athletic and can do action scenes well for Blue and Priyanka has proved that she can do that. If everything works out well, the pairing will be Sanju-Lara and Akshay-Priyanka.”

The last time Akshay and Priyanka worked opposite each other was in Vipul Shah’s Waqt (2005). After the release of Waqt, there were reports that Akshay’s wife Twinkle had forbidden him from signing any films with Priyanka and that explains the two year gap for this hit jodi. Several producers including Sajid Nadiadwala who were keen to cast them together but it didn’t work out.

However, things seem to have changed now since Akshay is the one who’s showing interest in their pairing. When contacted Parag Desai, media consultant Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision says, “We are not aware about any such thing at the moment.”

It will definitely be a treat to see two bollywood hunks Akshay and Sanjay together for the first time in a film. The film has a unique English title, Blue and the production house is currently looking for another high profile actor and actress to star in the film. Deepika Padukone who has made her debut in Om Shanti Om opposite Shahrukh, will also star in Blue and she has been paired opposite Akki in this film. Akshay has also undergone special training for deep-sea diving in Thailand as he does not want to use a body double for his stunts in the film. Blue will have plenty of action with two bollywood action heroes Sanju and Akki performing some cool stunts.
