After delivering one of 2019’s most appreciated film, Good Newwz, Akshay Kumar is set to reunite with its director Raj Mehta on his third directorial. Produced by Karan Johar, the movie will go on floors next year after the Khiladi actor is done shooting for Cinderella, Oh My God 2, and Ram Setu.
Good Newwz won critical acclaim as well as appreciation from the audience.
“Right after the success of Good Newwz, Raj and Akshay had discussed the idea of collaborating yet again. After discussing various subjects, they have finally zeroed in on something that’s completely different from what they explored in their first collaboration. The yet untitled film falls in the dramatic space with a strong dose of emotions,” revealed a source close to the development.
The pre-production work for the movie has already begun and the makers are exploring several locations to shoot the film, with the UK being right on top of the list.
“Karan and Akshay too have a great equation and the producer is planning multiple projects with the Khiladi going forward. One of those is this Raj Mehta directorial,” the source added.
Akshay and Karan have also been discussing Dostana 2 and C Shankaran biopic. Akshay has a huge line-up of movies starting with films like Sooryavanshi, Prithviraj, Atrangi Re, Bachchan Pandey, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Setu, Oh My God 2 under his kitty. He is expected to start his digital debut, The End for Amazon Prime, from the month of March 2022.
Raj Mehta on his part is currently busy with the edit of his social dramedy, Jug Jugg Jeeyo with Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor in lead.
