Akshay Kumar to produce Telugu and Tamil films

May 09, 2026

The borders between Bollywood and South Indian cinema have completely vanished, and the latest talk in Film Nagar is about Akshay Kumar looking to set up shop here. We already know he is making his Telugu acting debut with a special role in Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa, but his plans seem to be much bigger. Industry circles are buzzing that Akshay is preparing to produce straight Telugu and Tamil films under his Cape of Good Films banner.

Instead of just buying remake rights for Hindi, which has been his usual route, he is now interested in backing original regional content. Word on the street is that his team is actively listening to narrations from young directors in Tollywood and Kollywood. The focus is reportedly on high-concept, moderate-budget scripts that have strong theatrical potential.

This makes total business sense right now. The South market is expanding rapidly, and having a massive Bollywood name as a producer brings immediate national visibility to any project. We are still waiting on official announcements, but if these discussions turn into signed contracts, it will definitely shake things up and create some exciting cross-industry collaborations.
