It has come to light that the film will start filming in the second half of January.
According to an Instagram post by Vickey Lalwani, the shooting will begin in Mumbai on January 19.
About two weeks ago, Anees Bazmee told Mid-Day that he is planning to work with Akshay Kumar again after their film Thank You (2011). He also said, “There is a lot of respect and friendship between us. When I told him about this film, he was very excited.”
A few days after this interview, it was reported that Vidya Balan will be the female lead opposite Akshay Kumar.
Vickey Lalwani shared in his post that he spoke to producer Dil Raju, who confirmed that Akshay and Vidya are officially part of the film.
It has been reported that the project is a remake of Sankranthiki Vasthunam (2025).
Dil Raju told Vickey Lalwani that the Akshay-Anees film isn’t a direct remake but is inspired by the Venkatesh-starrer.
This film will mark Akshay and Vidya’s first on-screen pairing in six years since their successful collaboration in Mission Mangal (2019).
Earlier, source reported that Anees Bazmee's next movie will feature two strong female characters, with Vidya playing one of them.
While details about the second female role and the storyline are still not revealed, insiders suggest it will focus on humor, emotion, and strong character development, elements that both Bazmee and Akshay are known for.
This film will be produced by Dil Raju’s banner, Sri Venkateswara Creations.
Producer Sirish of this production house told Gulte at the recently ended 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) that they plan to make a film with superstar Salman Khan, directed by Vamshi Paidipally, who has directed popular films such as Munna (2007), Brindavanam (2010), Yevadu (2014), Oopiri (2016), Maharshi (2019), and Varisu (2023).
Lastly, Sirish also confirmed that their esteemed production house will produce a film starring superstar Pawan Kalyan.
