Mumbai: Akshay Kumar, who proved to be the biggest flop actor of Bollywood in the last two years, is now trying to set a new career. For this he has joined hands with Priya Darshan who has given him many comedy films. Priyadarshan is making a horror comedy with Akshay Kumar. Apart from Alia Bhatt, Kiara Advani, South's Keerthy Suresh is also said to be in the race to play the heroine. Alia is considered to be at the forefront in this bet. Both Akshay and Priyadarshan feel that Alia Bhatt will be the right actor for comedy. However, Alia would be cast if the contract terms were favorable.
Additionally, since Kiara Advani has previously worked with Akshay in 'Lakshmi' and Priyadarshan is well acquainted with South's 'Keerthy Suresh', their names are also being considered.
For the last two-three years, Akshay had left comedy films and turned to action films. But, its pulse did not work. Therefore, he is currently looking for films with different types of roles. The shooting of his another comedy film 'Jolly LLB 3' has also started.
