Akshay Kumar and Anees Bazmee are finally getting the band back together for a massive, untitled situational family comedy set to hit theaters in December 2026. The news comes as Akshay continues his winning streak in the entertainment world, especially with Bhooth Bangla currently pulling in huge numbers at the box office. Fans are already buzzing about this reunion because it marks the first time the duo has worked together on a project in 15 years.
The production is moving at a very fast clip. According to a detailed scoop by Bollywood Hungama, a large portion of the film is already finished. Director Anees Bazmee is on track to wrap up the entire shoot by the end of May 2026. The film is produced by Dil Raju, a major name in the Telugu industry who is now making a big splash in Hindi cinema with this high-energy comedy. The team also just finished a big Holi dance number that was choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, adding some classic Bollywood flair to the mix.
The history between these two is legendary in the industry. They previously teamed up for cult classics like Welcome and Singh Is Kinng, but they have not released a movie together since 2011. As reported by Sacnilk, this 15-year gap has only added to the hype for the December 2026 launch. One of the biggest highlights of this new script is the on-screen relationship between Akshay and his son. Early reports from the set say their comic timing is the backbone of the movie and provides some of the funniest moments in the story.
Akshay Kumar is reportedly thrilled with how the movie is looking. He is so impressed with Bazmee’s vision that he has already asked the director to start planning their next collaboration immediately. This confidence is likely fueled by recent box office data showing that Akshay is currently one of the few stars consistently drawing audiences to theaters. With Welcome To The Jungle also on the way in June 2026, the actor is clearly reclaiming his spot as the king of Bollywood comedy by the end of the year.
