Times of India quoted Akshay as saying “I had the good fortune of knowing Gulshanji well and had a close association with him right from my first film Saugandh. We both shared many things in common and come from a similar background. I am very excited to play him on screen.“

Gulshan Kumar’s son Bhushan Kumar added, “Mogul is not a film for me, it’s my dream come true. My father has been a guiding force all through my life and I have always felt his presence in everything I do. I always knew that one day I would make Mogul and share my father’s amazing story with the world. I am also extremely happy that my mother Sudesh Kumari will be producing the film. I can think of no one better than Akshay to play him on screen.“

Subhash Kapoor said, “When Vikram Malhotra shared the idea of the film with me, it was a feeling of disbelief. I always told my team that the one story I would love to make a movie on was Gulshanji’s and here I am doing just that.

The film is scheduled to release in 2018. This is Akshay Kumar’s fourth film of 2018 after Crack, Gold, Salman Khan & Karan Johar’s Co-Production.
