Boss, the remake of Malayalam hit Pokkiri Raja, was originally supposed to have only Akshay Kumar play solo in the film.

Playing a gangster in the Tony D'Souza's film, Akshay last minute decided it would be a better idea to have a love interest in the film for which Aditi Rao Hydari would play the leading lady now.

Initially, Akshay wanted this to be the first ever film, where there would be no leading lady with him, however as the script reached its completion stage, Akshay decided to make the changes.

This is the first time ever that the duo will be seen together, so lets hope they create the magic!
