Akshay Kumar and gay? Might sound extremely difficult to imagine, given the Khiladi star’s macho image. Perhaps that is the reason he was asked to discreetly shoot a few scenes over three days in Abu Dhabi for Dishoom with Varun Dhawan and John Abraham.
A source close to the development has told SpotboyE that he plays a gay filmmaker in the movie.

Akshay, when asked during the promotions of Brothers in August about the gay role offered to him by the film's director Rohit Dhawan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala, had denied it vehemently.
Said the source, “Akshay’s visit was kept under wraps. No one except a handful knew he was coming to Abu Dhabi. He landed up one morning and without wasting time, he started shooting. The shoot lasted three days."
Added the source, "If playing gay was not challenging enough, he even wore a skirt for one of the scenes on Rohit’s behest. He was sporting enough to do it. But we don’t know if the portion will be retained in the final edit.”
