Akshay Kumar and Sajid Khan are set to cross paths again after a long break, reviving one of Hindi cinema’s once bankable commercial pairings. The actor and filmmaker, who previously teamed up for Heyy Babyy, Housefull and Housefull 2, are now moving toward a fresh project that is expected to head into a London schedule after Sajid completes his current film.
Sajid Khan’s Next Film With Akshay Kumar
Sajid Khan is currently busy with Hero Ki Horrorine, the film that marks Yashvardhan Ahuja‘s Bollywood debut opposite Nitanshi Goel. The project is backed by Balaji Telefilms along with producer Amar Butala, making it Sajid’s active return to direction before he shifts to his next assignment.
A source close to the development revealed, “Sajid Khan will direct Akshay Kumar again. Their new film has been green lit by the production house. Sajid is currently working on Yashvardhan Ahuja’s film with Nitanshi Goel. Once that’s wrapped up, Sajid and Akshay will shoot their film in London.”
That ongoing production now appears to be leading directly into his reunion with Akshay Kumar. The new film has already been cleared by the production house, and the plan is to begin shooting in London once Hero Ki Horrorine is wrapped. For now, the makers have kept the title, genre and wider cast firmly under wraps, but the development is significant because it places Sajid and Akshay back together after years away from each other on the professional front.
Their Big Screen Track Record
Akshay Kumar and Sajid Khan built a strong mainstream equation through Heyy Babyy, Housefull and Housefull 2, films that helped define a stretch of broad-based Hindi commercial comedy. Their collaborations carried an easy comic rhythm and performed well enough to turn them into a recognisable actor-director combination.
That association stopped in 2018, when Sajid stepped away from Housefull 4 after multiple sexual harassment allegations surfaced during the #MeToo movement. A new film now gives that partnership a fresh chapter, and it instantly becomes one of the more closely watched developments around Akshay’s crowded slate because it reconnects him with a filmmaker tied to some of his most popular comic outings.
Akshay Kumar’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Akshay Kumar has remained in heavy rotation across theatrical releases, with Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh and Housefull 5 arriving in 2025, while Bhooth Bangla is part of his 2026 lineup. He is also attached to Welcome to the Jungle, and an untitled Anees Bazmee film co-starring Vidya Balan and Raashii Khanna is listed for a December 4, 2026 release. Seen together, those projects underline how firmly Akshay continues to occupy the commercial mainstream. That is exactly why this reunion carries weight, not simply as a nostalgia play, but as a move that reconnects him with a director linked to a particularly successful phase of his mass-entertainer run.
