After Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Kumar set to romance Parineeti Chopra?

Akshay Kumar has done a few good movies with Priyanka Chopra in the past. In fact, there were rumours that the duo was dating and Twinkle Khanna then prohibited her husband from working with PeeCee.

Now, speculations are rife that Parineeti Chopra will star opposite Akshay in Battle of Saragarhi movie. Earlier, Salman Khan and Karan Johar were supposed to co-produce the film, but the former backed out due to Ajay Devgn.

The recent buzz is that the makers have roped in Parineeti for a strong character in the movie. She will romance the Khiladi in the flick.

"Parineeti plays a strong character and has really liked the script. The makers have started prep. Huge sets of the Saragarhi and Gulistan forts, as well as a village, will be erected in Wai, a town in Satara district," Deccan Chronicle quoted a source close to the development as saying.

"The actors will be provided with a lot of material for their parts and will start full-time prep close to the shooting date. The film is set to tentatively go on the floors in January next year," the source added.
