Akshay Kumar is back in crowd-pleaser territory, and the buzz around his new collaboration with Anees Bazmee has just spiked. A leaked video from the film’s shoot in the Fort area of South Mumbai has surfaced online, showing the superstar in a sharp blue shirt and a clean-shave look. The glimpse has put fresh spotlight on the yet-untitled family entertainer backed by Dil Raju.
The South Mumbai schedule adds a stylish urban layer to a film already being positioned as a major theatrical comedy. For fans, the bigger hook is Akshay returning to Bazmee’s ensemble comedy zone after a long gap.
Leaked Fort Shoot Video Adds Momentum To The December Release
The on-location glimpse has arrived at a key moment for the film, which has locked its theatrical arrival for December 4, 2026. The official announcement from the production banner stated, “IN CINEMAS WORLDWIDE – DECEMBER 4th, 2026. More updates soon!!”
Akshay Kumar and Anees Bazmee have previously worked together on popular entertainers such as Welcome, Singh Is Kinng and Thank You. Their new film brings that commercial comedy association back to the big screen, this time with Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations mounting the project as one of its major Hindi ventures.
