Filmmaker Priyadarshan has announced his next project, a comedy thriller starring Akshay Kumar. This collaboration marks the ninth time the director and actor have worked together. Shooting for the film, backed by Tips, is slated to begin by the end of 2026, likely in December.

Previously, Priyadarshan's schedule included a dramedy with Pankaj Tripathi and a film with Mohanlal, both slated for 2026. However, these projects have been postponed to the following year, with their scripts undergoing revisions. Akshay Kumar was last seen in 'Welcome To The Jungle,' which garnered positive reviews.
