If things fall in place, Akshay Kumar will star in Priyadarshan's much-awaited film based on AIDS. Earlier, Aamir Khan was to act in the film but things did not work out. Confirming the actor’s interest in doing his film, Priyadarshan said, "Akshay knows the subject. I have not given him the script yet. We may go with Akshay and if not him then newcomers will be roped in.
