One could attribute the underwhelming box-office performance of Khel Khel Mein to the Stree 2 onslaught, but there’s no denying Akshay Kumar’s ability to entertain the audience. He remains one of the most sought-after actors. The latest reports indicate a collaboration with Pathaan (2023) director Siddharth Anand. The two, who have been in talks for months, are set to team up soon. Sid has entrusted Milan Luthria to helm the actioner that he has developed with writer, Rajat Arora. The trio felt that Akki is their best bet to lead the vigilante action thriller. When the superstar heard the narration, he, too, found the subject interesting. The makers plan to present a never-seen-before action avatar of the superstar, who became synonymous with the genre in the 1990s and the 2000s. The yet-untitled movie is expected to go on floors early next year. By then, Akki is slated to wrap up his current line-up, including Welcome to the Jungle and Housefull 5.
