Mussoorie’s Mall Road turned into a live Bollywood set this week as Akshay Kumar and Raashii Khanna shot a song for Anees Bazmee’s film, drawing a rush of fans to the heart of the hill town. Tourists and locals stopped in their tracks as cameras rolled through one of Mussoorie’s busiest public stretches, with Akshay filming amid the crowd carrying shopping bags as part of the sequence.
The star acknowledged the gathering with a wave, but the unit kept the shoot moving at pace as people lined up for a glimpse. What stood out on the ground was the scale of the public response. Within minutes, the routine rhythm of the promenade had given way to full-blown film frenzy.
Song Shoot Spreads From Mall Road To Savoy
The schedule was not limited to Mall Road. Akshay Kumar and Raashii Khanna also shot part of the song at the historic Savoy Hotel, giving the sequence a second location within Mussoorie’s best-known landmarks. The production has built this leg of the schedule around the town’s streets, heritage spaces and natural backdrop.
The Uttarakhand schedule continues after Mussoorie, with filming set to move to Dehradun for additional portions. The project is directed by Anees Bazmee and features Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan and Raashii Khanna, making it one of the more closely watched comedy lineups currently in production.
Why Mussoorie Worked For This Shoot
For this schedule, Mussoorie offered exactly what the song needed: a bustling public setting on Mall Road and a more classic visual mood at the Savoy. That combination gave the sequence both crowd energy and a polished cinematic backdrop without shifting cities.
Security remained tight through the shoot as fans gathered near the location. Even with the crowd building, the team continued filming key portions smoothly, keeping the focus on the song sequence rather than turning the stop into a prolonged public spectacle.
What This Schedule Signals For The Film
This Mussoorie leg gives the clearest update yet on the film’s current production phase. With a full song shoot underway and multiple outdoor portions being completed in Uttarakhand, the film has moved firmly through an active schedule rather than isolated set work. It also places Raashii Khanna squarely within one of the project’s major filmed set pieces alongside Akshay Kumar, while Vidya Balan remains a key part of the cast package driving interest around the film.
For now, the biggest takeaway from Mussoorie is simple: Bazmee’s film has begun revealing itself through on-location movement, star pairing and a song shoot that has already created strong local buzz.
