Here’s a massive update for all Bollywood fans! We can now exclusively reveal that Akshay Kumar is the big star who has been signed for Anees Bazmee‘s next film Ram Aur Shyam. The superstar will be playing a double role in this highly anticipated project. This is one of the biggest announcements of the year.
Just three days ago, we broke the exclusive news that Anees Bazmee had locked his next film titled Ram Aur Shyam. At that time, the actor’s name was kept under wraps. Now we can confirm it’s Akshay Kumar, and he will be seen in not one but two roles. Fans are already celebrating this exciting combination.
Akshay Kumar Returns To Double Role Comedy
The most exciting part of this project is that Akshay Kumar will be playing a double role. This takes the film back to its roots, as the original 1967 classic Ram Aur Shyam featured the legendary Dilip Kumar in a memorable double role.
Akshay Kumar has proven his comedy skills time and again in films like Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and Housefull. Seeing him in a double role under Anees Bazmee’s direction is a dream combination for audiences. This pairing promises a full on entertainer with lots of laughs and entertainment.
Big South Producer Dil Raju Comes On Board
Adding to the excitement, the film will be produced by Dil Raju, one of the biggest and most successful producers from the South Indian film industry. Dil Raju has delivered massive blockbusters in Telugu cinema and is known for backing high quality commercial entertainers.
This marks a major collaboration between Bollywood and South cinema. With Dil Raju’s track record and Anees Bazmee’s comedy expertise, Ram Aur Shyam is shaping up to be a pan India project. The producer’s involvement shows the scale and ambition of this film.
Pre Production And Shooting Timeline
We can now reveal the official timeline for the project. Pre production work on Ram Aur Shyam will begin this December. The team will spend the next few months planning every detail, from locations to costumes to the full cast.
The actual shooting of the film is scheduled to start in March 2026. This gives the team ample time to prepare for what promises to be a large scale production. With such a solid timeline in place, fans can expect regular updates in the coming months.
