Boss is a 2013 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film directed by Anthony D'Souza, written by Farhad-Sajid and produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures, Cape of Good Films and Ashwin Varde. A remake of the 2010 Malayalam film Pokkiri Raja, it stars Akshay Kumar as the titular character, along with Mithun Chakraborty, Shiv Panditt, Ronit Roy and Aditi Rao Hydari. The film was released worldwide on 16 October 2013, coinciding with both Dusshehra and the fourth anniversary of D'Souza's directorial debut starring Kumar, Blue (2009).

Production

Anthony D'Souza had previously directed Akshay Kumar in the 2009 film Blue, which marked his directorial debut. He and Farhad-Sajid, while unofficially adapting the 2010 Malayalam film Pokkiri Raja, chose veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan as the narrator who would introduce Boss.

According to reports Amitabh Bachchan was sent the script in advance and journalist-turned-producer Ashwin Varde (for whom the film marks his first project as a producer) offered Bachchan the role personally over a phone call which he readily accepted. Bachchan, in spite of his hectic schedule, completed the dubbing session at the earliest in merely 30 minutes. To the crew's pleasant surprise he improvised his lines as well.

Akshay Kumar played a kind-hearted Haryanvi businessman, known as 'Boss', and Mithun Chakraborty enacted the role of his father. Shiv Panditt portrayed Akshay Kumar's younger brother's role and Aditi Rao Hydari is paired opposite him. Danny Denzongpa played Boss's mentor and Ronit Roy played a ruthless police officer who is pitted against Kumar.
