Salman Khan and Karan Johar's production starring Akshay Kumar shelved?

According to reports, what was touted as the biggest collaboration between Akshay Kumar, Karan Johar and Salman Khan has been shelved. Based on 'The Battle of Saragarhi', Akshay was to star as the lead while Salman and Karan were to co-produce this venture.

Akshay was to play Havaldar Ishar Singh, the military commander of 21 Sikh soldiers during British India. While the project was announced in January, it was to go on floors by mid-2017, but that has not happened yet.

A source close to the development said, "You won’t see any shooting for that film either. The script is not ready. Akshay is now busy with other assignments till the end of 2018. Salman and Karan have also moved on. Meanwhile, Aamir’s Thugs of Hindostan is in the same genre and space. So, it looks like Yash Raj has beaten Karan Johar to that. It doesn’t look like Battle Of Saragarhi will happen."

Though there has been no official confirmation from the makers' side, considering the other projects that Salman, Karan and Akshay are juggling with, the possibility of the project going on floors is slim.
