Akshay Kumar to team up with Priyadarshan and Rohit Shetty!

One of the most entertaining (and exciting) actor-director combos is back again. The team of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan, that have given us huge hits like Hera Pheri and Bhool Bhulaiya, will soon be working on another film together. Another great news is that Rohit Shetty will also be collaborating with them as a producer.

A source close to the project said “Priyadarshan is giving finishing touches to the script of his next Bollywood project and has already signed Akshay for it. This director-actor combination has tasted great commercial success and this is poised to be their eighth film together. It will be a big-budget affair with Rohit Shetty backing it.”

When Priyadarshan was contacted recently, he also said that, “The script has been finalised and rest of the casting is being discussed. It will be a musical comedy; my comeback after a two-year break from the Hindi film industry.”

When it comes to comedy films, after the David Dhawan – Govinda combo, it simply cannot get better than Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar. With the added advantage of Rohit Shetty’s backing, the untitled film is set to be the most keenly awaited film whenever it releases!

  • Their comedy movies were the best among all the others in the 2000s.Priyadarshan needs to rediscovers his magical touch after some failures off late.But if the reports turn out to be it’s a great treat for every comedy lover
    Loved majority of movies of Priyadarshan.Specially his Dhol is highly underrated.It had some of the best comic scenes

  • This is indeed exciting stuff from akki-priyan deadly combo who earlier had given huge hits like herapheri,garam masala,bhool bhulyya and de dana dhan with the only exception of khatta meetha which was below avg movie..with rohit shettys name further attached we can expect rib tickling comedy from the masters of entertainment…

  • Airlift – hit
    Housefull 3- superhit
    Roustom- avg
    Namastey England- hit/ semihit
    Priyasarshan film – superhit

    akshay rocks 2016

  • Now this is 100cr+ project and Akki really needs it since he has been struggling to give 100cr+ film.
    I hope it comes in 2017

  • With Bhagam bhag,, bhul bhulaiya, de dana dan , hera pheri magic-

    nothing less than a sureshot bloockbuster is on the cards….

  • No doubt Priyadarshan is best director of comedy films.

    Akki has superb comic timing.

    So Akki+Priyadarshan+His Team(Asrani,Rajpal,etc) means comic treat.

    Also its good that Rohit Shetty just producing it.

    Rohit should only produce films instead of directing craps.

    If Farah,Rohit,Arbaaz,Shirish & Sajid Khan stay away from direction then it will be great for bollywood.

  • akshay has the best comedy timing ever in history of Bollywood…even superior than the khans and other

  • Priyadarshan is one of my favorite directors and Rohit Shetty too.

    Thank You Priyadarshan for giving us such these nice movies.

    Akki-Priyadarshan Rocks.
    Eagerly waiting for this project

  • Yeah flop star floppy Kumar desperately needs priyadarshan to give at least one big hit as giving ATBBs & solo or non-remake BBs is almost impossible for the flopstar , infact terms like ATBB & BB floppy Kumar ki dictionary mei hei hi nahi bcos usne kudh he apne liye aisi floppppkassss dictionary banali hei :D :D

  • My above comment is only for babaji ka tillu & sunny chichi otherwise I have nothing against akki & most of his fans.

  • @indicine plz write an article about dilwale
    potentiality of becoming a huge hit about
    its position and negative effects like a big hollywood movie is also releasing on the same date … if possible !!

  • Best combos in Bollywood :
    1. Aamir-Hirani
    2. Salman Sooraj
    3. Akshay Neeraj
    4. Govinda David Dhawan
    5. Akshay Priyadarshan

    Worst actor director duo:
    1. Srk – farah
    2. Rohit-Ajay(only 2 good movies, rest faaltu)

  • So Rohits brilliant run at the bo is set to end with this film. Even though he is not directing but the man with the midas touch is all set to loose it. Akki equals avg to hit verdict. Na ussey zyada na ussey kam

  • @Rohit lol, Rohit has more 100 crs than any director of recent. Am not saying he is beta but don’t underestimate the guy. He has directed Srk and Ajay,I can bet akki can’t break any of their opening day and lifetime with priyadarshan. As one of my srk mate once said Rohit does not do movies with non actors. So zyada uchal maat. After directing srk and ajay I know the next Rohit will direct shd be Salman Sir. Be happy Rohit name will atleast boost Akki collections to a certain limit.

  • @sss have you lost it? What’s the hatred for. You forgot Yash and Srk or Prakash jha and Ajay. Plus Rohit and Ajay has been super successful. Any of their combo of recent is a guaranteed 100 crs. That’s what is important. Their movies are universally accepted. So calm down. Another hit combo will be srk and rohit post dilwale release. Stop being a nerd.
