Akshay’s next is on Rakshabandhan
Adding an extra dose of excitement to the Rakshabandhan celebrations today, Aanand L. Rai has announced his next directorial, titled Rakshabandhan. The ace filmmaker will be collaborating with superstar Akshay Kumar for the second time after the much awaited Atrangi Re. The script writer is National Award-winning Himanshu Sharma, who also wrote the scripts for films like Zero, Raanjhanaa and the Tanu Weds Manu franchise.
The poster promises a family film celebrating sibling love in its purest form.
Earlier this year, Aanand had announced
Atrangi Re, his first collaboration with Akshay Kumar, which also has South star Dhanush and Sara Ali Khan sharing the lead.
In an official statement, Aanand said, “Akshay is such a talented actor and
I’m really excited to collaborate with him once again for Rakshabandhan.
The film is a special tale which celebrates relationships in the most beautiful way.”
Expected to go on the floors next year, Rakshabandhan is presented by Alka Bhatia and Aanand L. Rai.
Akshay Kumar said, “Hardly ever in life does one come across a story that touches
your heart so deeply and so instantly. It will make you laugh and it will make you cry. And it will make us realise how blessed are those who have sisters. It makes me happiest that my sister Alka is presenting and producing this film along with Aanand L. Rai. Can’t thank him enough for bringing me one of the most special films of my life.” A Colour Yellow Production in association with Cape of Good Films, the project is scheduled to hit the screens worldwide during Diwali, 2021.
