Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan were a hit actor-director jodi in the early 2000s. Be it the classic Hera Pheri or the evergreen Bhool Bhulaiyaa, they weaved magic onscreen. After nearly 10 years, Akshay and Priyadarshan will be finally reuniting. Talking to a leading daily, Priyadarshan confirmed doing a comic thriller with Akshay. He revealed a serious film was planned with the superstar. However, Akshay suggested that their audience will expect a comedy film from the duo.  

Priyadarshan added that the comic-thriller will go on floors in September 2021. "To begin with, I was planning a serious film with Akshay till he pointed out that people would expect a comedy from us. We were to start in December but now it will roll only around September next year. It will be produced by Akshay,” Priyadarshan told.
