Since a couple of days, a big question has been haunting Akshay Kumar, that of who will play the main character in his next production venture, Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan?

Our source lets us in on an update on Akshay’s dilemma. “Salman has almost agreed to play the role of Krishna in Akshay Kumar’s production ‘Oh My God’. While Akshay has already begun with the shooting, Salman Khan will join in later as the actor will first shoot for his home production ‘Dabangg 2’,” says a source.

Rumours were rife that it will be a ‘Khan versus Khan’ battle in Bollywood for the role of Krishna, as Akshay is planning to approach Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan for the same. 

But now with Salman’s green signal, director Ashvini Yardi will start adding a twist in the tale to suit Salman Khan’s persona and style. 

In the past, Salman was seen in the film ‘God Tussi Great Ho’ playing the God for a short term of 10 days.

As for the film, ‘Oh My God’, it has been adapted from critically acclaimed Gujrati play ‘Kanji Virrudh Kanji’ which talks about an atheist man, played by Akshay Kumar.

In the film he suffers huge losses in his antiques shop due to an earthquake. And to get his returns, the atheist files a case against Krishna to be played by Salman Khan, asking him to pay back for all the losses incurred.
