Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is on a movie signing spree and will be giving various hits back to back.
Recently, it was reported that Akshay will be reuniting with the director of Good Newwz, Raj Mehta, for the remake of the Malayalam drama, Driving Licence.
Now, as per Pinkvilla, this Bollywood remake of Driving License will be tentative titled ‘Selfie‘ and also stars Emraan Hashmi.
A source says, “The concept of Driving Licence revolves around a cop and a superstar, with the former being a huge fan of the latter. The conflict elevates when the superstar misbehaves with the cop and refuses to give him and his family a ‘selfie’. The team feels, Selfie is a perfect title to this edge-of-the-seat comic drama and that’s what has prompted the team to tentatively address it as Selfie.”
It was also reported that ‘Selfie’ was a working title for Oh My God 2 as well. “When the Oh My God team was trying to figure out the legalities and other copyright aspects to take the franchise forward, the second title that they had registered was Selfie. However, the term had a different context here, suggesting a deeper look at society and within oneself. When all the formalities were completed, the team finally went ahead with the title Oh My God 2,” the source added.
However, even though Selfie is the tentative title, there is a possibility of the makers retaining the original name too.
“It goes on floors in the month of January with Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi. The prep work is in progress at the moment,” the source concluded.
