Akshay Kumar too busy to play God on-screen

Akshay Kumar has mesmerized everyone by his extreme Action and Comedy based films and so on.  His forthcoming movie Joker opposite Dabangg gal Sonakshi Sinha is all set to hit the theatres.

A few months there were reports that the actor was very inspired by Paresh Rawal's Hindi play Krishan Vs Kanhaiya, a story centred around the clash between an atheist and God. And so, Akshay has decided to turn the hugely successful play into a feature film. Akshay Kumar was offered to play Lord Krishna in a play based film titled "Krishna Vs Kanhaiya".  But now we hear that Akshay despite of co-producing the film has has shared his displeasure at the aspect of playing the ‘God’ in the film. The film has now been titled as "Oh My God’" and will be directed by Umesh Shukla.

A television producer Ashvini Yardi who happens to be Akshay's good friend will co-produce the film with him. But the reason he gave behind his last minute walk out from the film was his packed schedule. He has five films lined up for the year 2012 and he has no dates to spare. He has Shirish Kunder's "Joker" , Prabhu Devaa's "Rowdy Rathore", Milan Luthria's "Once Upon A Time in Mumbai’s sequel, Ashish Mohan's "Khiladi 786" and Neeraj Pandey's "Special Chabbis" . Hence he couldn’t allot date for his own project.

The film is a story about the clash between an atheist and God and was supposedly slated to go on floors in January 2012. But as Akshay couldn’t spare dates for this one.

According to sources from the industry, Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn are being considered to replace Akshay. Akshay and Ashvini remained unavailable for comment.
