After a string of recent box office disappointments, Khiladi Akshay Kumar is making a grand comeback with comedy films. This time, he’s joining forces with Fukrey director Mrigdeep Singh Lamba for a brand-new comedy franchise.
Dainik Bhaskar reports that the film will be set in Delhi’s lively areas like Dwarka, Dabri, and Janakpuri. Akshay is expected to take on a quirky and entertaining role, sure to bring plenty of laughs, much like the vibe of Fukrey.
This New Akshay Kumar Starrer To Be Based On Lives Of 4 Underdogs
As per the report, the plot will focus on the lives of four underdogs who, through sheer luck, manage to achieve something big. The characters are mostly college-aged, bringing in a youthful energy that fans of Fukrey will likely appreciate.
Given the success of Fukrey’s ensemble cast, there’s already speculation that this new project could become a full-fledged franchise, evolving with its relatable storyline and charming characters.
While details are still under wraps, there’s a lot of excitement building around the film. It will be interesting to see how Akshay, who has delivered iconic comedy roles in the past, will bring his unique flair to this new project. “The film is going to be a laughter riot. We’re working hard to create something fresh,” said an insider close to the project.
Pankaj Tripathi Might Also Star In This Upcoming Film
Reports further suggest that Akshay may reunite with Pankaj Tripathi for this upcoming comedy. The two have previously worked together in OMG 2 and Bachchan Pandey, where their chemistry was widely praised. If true, this collaboration could bring even more excitement to the film, as both actors have a proven track record of bringing humour and heart to their roles.
While there’s no official confirmation yet, fans can be hopeful for a reunion between Akshay and Pankaj. Their unique styles and shared sense of comic timing would likely add more fun to the film.
Akshay Kumar’s Work Front
Despite his recent flops, Akshay Kumar has no shortage of upcoming projects. He’s currently wrapping up the shoot for Welcome to the Jungle, which is set to be completed by December.
After that, he will jump into shooting for Bhooth Bangla in January, reuniting with director Priyadarshan. Bhooth Bangla will be a mix of comedy and psychological horror, a genre Akshay explored before in Bhool Bhulaiyaa. With the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa, expectations are high for this new horror-comedy hybrid.
In addition to these films, Akshay has other major projects lined up, including Housefull 5 and Jolly LLB 3. Both films are expected to begin shooting soon, and fans are already buzzing about these highly anticipated sequels.
