Akshay Kumar and Taapsee Pannu’s film Khel Khel Mein is coming to theatres earlier than planned. Initially set to premiere on 6 September to coincide with Akshay’s birthday week, the film will now hit theatres on 15 August, just in time for Independence Day.
Directed by Mudassar Aziz, Khel Khel Mein boasts a star-studded cast including Fardeen Khan, Vaani Kapoor, Amy Virk, Aditya Seal, and Pragya Jaiswal.
Taapsee Pannu revealed the exciting news on Instagram, where she shared a lively group photo featuring the cast and the director. “This Independence Day, step into a mad world of laughter, drama & loads of fun! Mark your calendars for 15 August 2024, when #KhelKhelMein hits the theatres,” she wrote.
Akshay Kumar & John Abraham’s THIRD Box Office Clash With Khel Khel Mein Vs Vedaa
However, the new release date sets up a fierce box office clash with John Abraham’s Vedaa, which is also slated for a 15 August release. This box office rivalry between Akshay and John is becoming a bit of a tradition.
In 2018, Akshay’s Gold went up against John’s Satyameva Jayate, and in 2019, it was Mission Mangal versus Batla House. Now, in 2024, it’s Khel Khel Mein versus Vedaa. Fans are eager to see who will come out on top this time.
Adding to the competitive mix, Khel Khel Mein might also face off against the highly anticipated Pushpa 2 starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna. Despite ongoing rumours about a delay, sources close to the production have confirmed that Pushpa 2 is still set for an Independence Day release, with promotions already in full swing.
