With Akshay Kumar having shot Bell Bottom in a start-to-finish schedule in the UK, filmmakers back home are emboldened to kick off new projects. Director Abhishek Kapoor assembled his team in Chandigarh on Wednesday, ready to set the ball rolling on his yet-untitled venture with Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor. With this, Khurrana — who spent the lockdown in hometown Chandigarh — will return to a film set after seven months. "We will start our first schedule this weekend. It's been such a difficult time for everyone. Now, we are all itching to step out and have our creative juices flowing," begins producer Pragya Kapoor.
