While Bollywood has survived the post-pandemic phase with the help of some well-made films, Akshay Kumar’s career has suffered a setback with most of his projects flopping. Meanwhile, he has now prepared for a proper comeback and one of his films is now trending in the headlines, titled Tirangaa.
Notably, there have been rumors claiming that the upcoming project is a remake of the 1993 film of the same name. However, producer Narendra Hirawat denied the same last month, saying that it is a “new and original script.”

But as it has happened in most cases, Tirangaa might turn out to be an adaptation of the cult classic, featuring Nana Patekar and Raaj Kumar. Now this could be a wrong decision since remakes or adaptations are hardly accepted by the audience nowadays, except for the Drishyam franchise.
Even if the rumors are true, Akshay Kumar currently needs to step forward carefully. His last few films did not do well at the box office possibly because he was too overconfident that subjects based on real-life incidents and social issues can easily pull the audience towards the big screen.

Tirangaa is being helmed by Sanjay Puran Sing Chauhan, who was originally supposed to make another project with Akshay, titled Gorkha. However, the film was later shelved and producer Aanand L Rai revealed last year that they were working on the factual clarifications.
Coming to Tirangaa, it is reported to be a commercial entertainer. This means that we would get to see Akshay getting back to action and comedy for another time. But the makers need to work on the script considering the response received by Bade Miyan Chote Miyan this year. On the other hand, a release date for Tirangaa is yet to be confirmed.
