Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar are set to reunite for director Priyadarshan’s next film, with Pednekar reportedly joining as the female lead. The project is described as a comedy-thriller set in the 1970s, featuring Rajpal Yadav. Sources say it will bring the pair’s on-screen collaborations to a third film, after earlier work together in Toilet Ek Prem Katha and Raksha Bandhan.
Outlets also report that Priyadarshan is expected to begin filming toward the last week of November, with a shoot planned over roughly three months. Filming locations mentioned include Rajasthan, Mumbai, and Bhopal. NDTV frames the news primarily around the reunion timing, while Times of India adds context about the gap since Raksha Bandhan and references Pednekar’s recent work, without introducing new production details.
