Akshay Kumar had announced this Aanand L directorial film on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan last year.
As the name suggests, it’s based on the special bond between a brother and a sister. In his announcement, Akshay had mentioned that he signed the film immediately after reading its script. He also dedicated the film to his sister Alka Bhatia.
The film is written by Rai’s longtime collaborator and National Award-winning screenwriter Himanshu Sharma, known for ‘Zero’, ‘Raanjhanaa’ and the ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ franchise.
