In April 2025, it was reported that Bollywood star Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan would team up once again for a new film following their collaborations on Bhooth Bangla and Haiwaan. This exciting project will be produced by Ramesh Taurani of Tips Films, and recent updates reveal that the film has officially been titled Wicked Sunny.
Sources indicate that the title reflects the playful nature of the film and its main character. Fans might recognize the name, as it was also the catchy theme associated with Akshay’s scenes in the beloved film Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004), which remains popular even after two decades.
Wicked Sunny is said to feature Akshay Kumar in a humorous, quirky role, distinct from his recent characters in films like Bhooth Bangla and Welcome To The Jungle. This new direction promises to entertain audiences, and the fun title is expected to create even more buzz around the film.
This upcoming film marks the ninth collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan. They have previously worked together on hits like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhag, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, among others. Their latest film, Haiwaan, which also stars Saif Ali Khan, is set to hit theaters on September 11, 2026.
According to reports, Wicked Sunny will be a comic thriller, written by Priyadarshan alongside Rohan Shankar, who also worked on Bhooth Bangla. The film is expected to begin shooting in December this year, creating anticipation among fans of both the star and director.
