Akshay Kumar, Karan Johar to collaborate for first time written updates:-
Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar have signed up to make their first film together.
Kumar will take the lead role in a joint production directed by Punit Malhotra.
Johar told The Times of India: "I can't divulge too much now. But what I can definitely say is that the movie is mainstream and has a very strong underlying social message. It's solid and hard-hitting.
"Punit brought me this amazing script. I immediately approached Akshay and he was equally thrilled with the idea."
"If Dharma Productions has to collaborate with Akshay, then it has to be the right kind of film. And, as I said earlier, this one, apart from being commercial, has a strong voice."
Kumar added: "We're two very passionate producers with one great aim - to entertain. Both Karan and I want to make our fathers proud. Cheers to our new venture."
Malhotra made his directorial debut with Johar's film I Hate Luv Stories.
It was reported in December that Kumar had crossed over the 400 crores mark at the box office in 2012.
