Akshay Kumar is reportedly set to star in filmmaker Priyadarshan’s next untitled project, playing a tiger hunter in a 1970s-set comedy. Multiple outlets report that the film is planned as the director’s 99th feature and that shooting is scheduled to begin in late November, continuing for around three months.
The reported cast includes Rajpal Yadav and Annu Kapoor alongside Kumar. Filming is expected to take place across Rajasthan and Mumbai, with the production schedule spanning the initial launch of the shoot and subsequent phases over several weeks. While details remain limited and some elements are described as “reportedly” or “planned,” all sources align on the core concept—Kumar in the role of an eccentric tiger hunter in a period comedy under Priyadarshan’s direction—and on the broad timeline and locations.
