In 2021, Akshay revealed that he was collaborating with Aanand L. Rai on a movie titled Gorkha. The plot revolves around the biography of Ian Cardozo, a valiant warrior who, after sustaining a serious injury, amputated his own leg using his khukri.

Despite the lack of news concerning the project since then, Aanand L. Rai has finally put to rest the speculation that Akshay may have dropped out of Gorkha due to disagreements about the script.

He dispelled all the gossip that Akshay had had a disagreement with the movie's crew because of mistakes in the screenplay and said, "If we're making this movie, Akshay will be involved. If not, we'll find something else to work on."
