From Khiladi to BOSS - Akshay Kumar - is one of the finest actors in the film industry at present.

Over the years he has successfully promoted new talent in the film Industry, like Shiv Pandit in BOSS

But this time the actor has gone a step ahead and has spotted a TV Actor Akash Dabade for a pivotal role in BOSS. Akshay went through many audition rounds and there were also few established names which were shortlisted, but somehow he wasn’t convinced.

“It so happened that one day when Akshay was watching TV he spotted Akash in a television commercial for a mobile company, impressed by his sense of humor and acting Akshay immediately told his team to get in touch with Akash and signed him for the role without an audition,” confirms a source.

The best part is that Akash has turned out to be one of the highlights of the film and is a guy to watch out for. Produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Cape Of Good Films and Ashwin Varde Productions BOSS is all set to release this on 16 October.
