Akshay Kumar To Romance Kriti Sanon In “Bachchan Pandey”

Akshay Kumar and Kriti Sanon are back together to headline yet another out-and-out commercial entertainer. After tickling the funny bone of the audience with their crackling performances in Housefull 4 (2019), Akshay Kumar and Kriti Sanon have joined forces to star in producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s forthcoming film Bachchan Panday. While Khiladi Kumar came onboard a couple of months ago, Kriti Sanon has been confirmed to be the leading lady of the film just today.

Akshay Kumar and producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who have several successful films to their credit, are reteaming for the 10th time. The film will be directed by writer-filmmaker Farhad Samji who also helmed blockbuster Housefull 4. Samji is presently busy fine-tuning the script of the movie. If all goes well, Bachchan Pandey will start rolling in the month of February 2020.

Kriti Sanon, who has just joined the cast, is excited to be reuniting with the Housefull 4 team once again. Sharing her excitement, she said to a publication, “I had a blast working with them in Housefull 4 and super excited that we will be collaborating again. It is my third film with Sajid sir and again, a very entertaining one.”

Sajid Nadiadwala, who had launched her and Tiger Shroff with his 2014 production venture Heropanti, is glad to reunite with the actress once again. “Akshay and Kriti’s pairing delighted the audience in Housefull 4. I have seen her grow as an actor since Heropanti and I feel, she can pull off this role alongside Akshay,” says the filmmaker in conclusion.

Bachchan Panday was earlier scheduled to release on Christmas 2020. But if some sources are to be believed, the makers are contemplating to lock a new release date for the movie as it may take a lot of time in production. More details on the same are awaited though.
