If 2025 saw Akshay Kumar reuniting with director Subhash Kapoor for Jolly LLB 3 and Priyadarshan for the upcoming projects Bhooth Bangla and Haiwaan, the superstar has carried the spirit into 2026. On January 20, the actor will kick off his yet-untitled next with director Anees Bazmee, marking the duo’s reunion 15 years after their last collaboration Thank You (2011). The first day of filming will take place at Royal Gold Studios in Goregaon, where an elaborate indoor set has been erected.
Insiders describe the movie as a high-energy, laugh-a-minute entertainer, typical of Bazmee’s style. “It’s a classic Anees Bazmee comedy with fast-paced scenes, and confusion born from multiple characters and hilarious situations. The shoot was originally scheduled for February. While other actors, including leading lady Vidya Balan will join later, the film rolls on January 20 with the superstar,” revealed a source close to the production.
During the five-week schedule at Royal Gold Studios, Bazmee will film many indoor scenes, before heading to Delhi for the second leg.
