The Bhagnanis are planning to cast Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in an action film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, with a lighthearted theme. Vashu, Jackky, and Deepshikha Bhagnani will produce it under their Pooja Films banner.
“Ali Abbas Zafar has been planning a big scale two hero film for a long time now, and he has finally locked the script that does justice to the presence of two big action stars. He narrated the idea to both Akshay and Tiger, who have already agreed to do this action spectacle with little comedy. It will go on floors sometime late next year, once Ali is done with the work on his current assignment with Shahid Kapoor,” revealed a source close to the development to Pinkvilla.
Before moving on to this Ali Abbas Zafar directed film, Akshay and Tiger will finish filming their previous obligations. Interestingly, Akshay is currently working with the producers (Bhagnani’s) on Cinderella, directed by Ranjit Tiwari, while Tiger Shroff is filming Ganapath with Vikas Bahl, which is also backed by the same producers.
“The Bhagnani’s and Ali were always clear on bringing two giant forces in the action space together for this one. And who better than the Khiladi and young action star. It’s going to be among the biggest action spectacles of Hindi film industry,” the source added.

The plot has been kept under wraps for the time being, but according to the sources, the directors are playing with the notion of naming it after an old Hindi film made by Bhagnani’s. The team is ecstatic to be working together and hopes to push things to the next level in this action genre. The release date has been set for 2023. This will be Akshay’s first collaboration with Tiger.
