Akshay launches Sonam's cousin Mohit

4th July 2013

After Arjun Kapoor, it's cousin Mohit Marwah, who is gearing up for his Bollywood debut. Mohit is Anil Kapoor's nephew, and the young lad, who has moved to Mumbai from Delhi, was spotted with his celebrity cousins Arjun and Sonam Kapoor at various Bollywood events. Mohit also made an appearance at Karan Johar's birthday bash last year.

One would have thought it would be his uncles, Anil or Boney Kapoor, who would launch him in Bollywood, but the latest news is that Akshay Kumar has signed Mohit for his debut project.

The movie which will be co-produced by Akshay and Ashvini Yardi of the superhit film 'OMG – Oh My God', is being directed by Kabir Sadanand. The project will also mark the debut of Olympic bronze-medalist Vijendra Singh.

Ashvini confirmed the news that the team has signed Mohit as the lead in their next. Sharing more on the project, Ashvini said that 'Fugly' is a story based on the life of two boys and a girl, and the movie is all set to go on floors this September.

She added that as Delhi and Ladakh are finalized as the shoot locations, the rest of the star cast are yet to be confirmed.
