Akshay Kumar is gearing up for an exciting start to 2026 as he prepares to begin filming his new project with director Anees Bazmee. The shoot is expected to start in Mumbai on January 19.
Director Anees Bazmee recently confirmed that he is reuniting with Akshay Kumar for this film, marking their first collaboration since “Thank You” in 2011. He mentioned the strong bond of mutual respect and love between them, which made Akshay eager to take on this project.
In an interesting twist, it was revealed that Vidya Balan will be starring opposite Akshay in this film. Producer Dil Raju has confirmed that both stars are on board, building anticipation for their on-screen chemistry after not working together for six years since “Mission Mangal” in 2019.
There are rumors that this film may be a remake of the 2025 movie “Sankranthiki Vasthunam.” However, Dil Raju clarified that the film is not a strict remake, but rather takes inspiration from the original with a focus on the basic concept.
The movie promises to feature two prominent female characters, with Vidya in one of the lead roles. While details about the second character and the overall storyline remain under wraps, it’s hinted that the film will blend humor and emotion, showcasing the strengths of both Bazmee and Akshay.
This exciting project will be produced by Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations, which also has plans to collaborate withother major stars, including Salman Khan and Pawan Kalyan, for future films.
