Blame it on the pandemic that Akshay Kumar has films nearing completion, and yet awaiting a date with cinemas. The actor, who is known to wrap up his movies in 45-odd days, had released his Laxmii (2020) directly on a streaming platform. Now, we hear that his next film with director Ranjit Tiwari and co-starring Rakul Preet Singh will drop directly on OTT. What is surprising is that it may be streamed in episodic form, like a series. Insiders state that the narrative is such that it can be treated like a web series with a different style of editing. Moreover, the makers are also ready to reshoot some sequences to add to the thrills at the end of each episode. Of course, the final call will be taken after producers Vashu and Jackky Bhagnani decide on the format they deem best suited for the storyline.
