According to a report of a leading daily, the 52-year-old will be reuniting with producer Ekta Kapoor after Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara! for an action-comedy. A source close to the development informed the daily that Akshay signed on the dotted lines around 10 days ago and the film which will be directed by a debutant, is still being worked on. The yet-to-be-titled project that will be completed in a start to end schedule, will go on floors by the end of this year. As per reports, it will release in the second half of 2021.

“Akshay signed the film around 10 days ago. The logistics are currently being worked out and the script is being finalised. It will be directed by a debutant and mounted on a lavish scale. Like all his films, Akshay will complete this one too in a start-to-finish schedule,” the source told.
