Akshay Kumar is known for delivering films back to back. It was recently revealed that Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Entertainment and Khiladi Kumar are working on an action thriller with an Air Force theme. Now there’s another update of one of his films. Sources close to Pinkvilla claim that Akshay has joined the cast of Khel Khel Mein, director Mudassar Aziz’s upcoming comedy.
“It’s a subject that Mudassar has been discussing with Akshay for a while now and falls in the place of an out and out comic entertainer. Akshay too has liked the subject and green lit it. The movie will be produced by Bhushan Kumar and Ashwin Varde, however the timelines of shoot are not known yet,” revealed a source.
As the title suggests, this one is going to be a really quirky journey, with AK returning to his zone of comedy entertainment, and Akshay is quite enthusiastic about the theme. The source tells that the dates and everything would be sorted soon. Currently, Mudassar is working on two projects: Meri Patni Ka Remake, starring Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar, and Khel Khel Mein, starring Akshay Kumar. “We’re still waiting for a revision to the shooting schedules for the two movies. The Bhagnanis produced the Arjun Kapoor-starring film, but Bhushan & Ashwin provided the funding for Akshay’s comedy” added the source. OMG: Oh My God 2, which has already begun filming and is slated for an early 2023 release, is the next project Akshay is working on with Ashwin Varde.
Akshay is currently gearing up for the release of Raksha Bandhan on August 11, and will follow that up with Ram Setu on Diwali. The actor also has Selfiee, also starring Emraan Hashmi and Cinderella in his kitty.
