Saudi film festival: Bollywood star Akshay Kumar talks about upcoming projects, OTT debut

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has revealed details about two of his major upcoming projects while attending Saudi Arabia's Red Sea International Film Festival.

Talking to Deadline, an online news website, at the festival, Akshay discussed the projects while keeping major details under wraps.

Speaking about his long-awaited series with Amazon, which will be his first foray into the OTT arena, he told Deadline that its script was finished and that the title, formally announced as 'The End', would change, with plans to commence shooting next year.

The actor said, "It's more on the science fiction" side of things with "a lot of action in it, I can say that."

Akshay, who has done social films like 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' and 'Pad Man', spoke about his other project and revealed that it's a film on sex education, a topic he feels is important to talk about.

"I like doing social films which can make a difference, especially in my country and in anybody's life. I just pick up those topics and I make a film, but I make it in a very commercial way where obviously there are songs, there's comedy, there's drama, there's tragedy. So, I take real stories and adapt it and cover it up with all the commercial things," said Akshay, reported Deadline.
