Akshay Kumar does not let the grass grow beneath his feet. The actor, who is today celebrating his mother Aruna Bhatia’s birthday in Singapore with wife Twinkle Khanna and daughter Nitara, will return to Mumbai on Wednesday, January 23. And the same day, without wasting any time, Akshay, who is energy plus and enthusiastic about work, will quickly report to Raj Mehta’s sets at Yash Raj Studios and begin shooting for Dharma Productions’ Good News opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan.

The story doing the rounds is that Akshay, who is busy shooting for R. Balki’s Mission Mangal with Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari and Nithya Menen, will wrap up work there and then join Kareena, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh on the sets of Good News on Sunday, January 27. Not true. Akshay does not work on Sundays except in the rarest of rare cases. And since he is returning on Wednesday, and has already wrapped up the Mission Mangal schedule, he will start Good News the same day.
The film is a romantic comedy about two couples and their issues with pregnancy. The first schedule of Good News was wrapped up in Punjab. Akshay and Kareena were not a part of that. The second schedule has all four stars shooting combination scenes. While the third schedule is reportedly only on Akshay and Kareena. The two actors will be teaming up for a full-fledged film after Kambakkth Ishq in 2009. They have done ten films together and Kareena was fleetingly seen in a cameo in Akshay’s Gabbar Is Back in 2015. The
