No known popular actor or star has played a gay character on screen and in a serious sense. There has been the instance of Abhishek Bachchan doing such parts but it was merely an act within the film rather than playing a real character. But that is about to change soon!
It is heard that popular star Akshay Kumar will be seen playing a straight up gay character in an upcoming film called Dishoom. The film stars Varun Dhawan and John Abraham in lead roles and is directed by the former actor’s big brother Rohit Dhawan. The director apparently considers Akshay Kumar a lucky mascot and wants him to be part of the film.
Rohit has therefore created a special character for Akshay Kumar which will be gay. The star is game for the character and currently the dates are being worked out as Akshay is extremely busy actor. If he goes on to be part of the film, it would be first for a star in India to portray that role.
