Akshay Kumar is working on his new movie Bachchan Panday. The action-comedy movie will feature Kriti Sanon, Arshad Warsi, and Pankaj Tripathi.

The movie has been directed by Farhad Samji and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. It will be released on Republic Day 2022 in cinemas.

Recent reports say that actress Jacqueline Fernandez has also joined the squad. A source told local media, “Jacquline is a part of flashback scenes in Bachchan Pandey, romancing Akshay’s character in his younger days. While Akshay plays a bearded gangster in the present scenes, paired alongside Kriti Sanon, an aspiring director, he romances Jacqueline in his moustache look in the flashback scenes.”

The source added, “She will be shooting for some key scenes forming the emotional crust of the film, and a romantic song with Akshay in Jaisalmer. The shoot of Bachchan Pandey is expected to wrap up on Feb 28/March 1, followed by some patchwork in Mumbai.”
