Excel Entertainment, helmed by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, is reportedly working on a biopic about legendary composer RD Burman. Despite rumors suggesting Emraan Hashmi's involvement as Mehmood in the film, Hashmi has denied being approached for the role, clarifying that he has no part in the upcoming project. Farhan Akhtar, however, is expected to portray Burman on screen. In a recent Instagram story, Hashmi made it clear that he will be focusing on his upcoming film 'Awarapan 2' instead. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar has reportedly agreed to play Rajesh Khanna in Mehmood's biopic, set to feature the bond and friendship shared between the two stars. The relationship between RD Burman and Mehmood was not just professional; they were close friends, with Mehmood giving Burman his first break in the film industry. RD Burman is known for his fusion of Indian classical elements with contemporary music, creating a unique musical legacy that includes iconic tracks like 'Aap Ki Aankhon Mein Kuch' and 'Dum Maro Dum'. Emraan Hashmi, meanwhile, is set to reprise his role in 'Awarapan 2', scheduled for release on August 14.
