Yes, you read it right! Speculations are rife that Khiladi Kumar Akshay has been considered for the sequel of ‘Once Upon time in Mumbaai’. If the Stunt King gives his nod, then he would be playing Emraan Hashmi's role.

Incidentally, Akshay was earlier said to have been approached by the production house; for producer Ekta Kapoor was keen to have him for the sequel. However they had problem when he demanded a hefty fee of 27 crores.

Latest buzz is that Akki has now revised his price, as he is willing to rebuild his market’s image after giving string of flops (Khatta Meetha, Action Replayy, Tees Maar Khan).

Stayed tuned for the final verdict from the production house…
