Akshay Kumar – Neeraj Pandey’s CRACK takes Independence Day weekend in 2017

Riding high on the super-success of ‘Rustom’, Akshay Kumar and Neeraj Pandey have announced their next film together, which will release during the Independence Day weekend in 2017.

Titled ‘Crack’, the film will be directed by Neeraj Pandey, who has previously directed Akshay Kumar in films like ‘Special 26’ and ‘Baby’.

“Friends, I’m happy to share with you that after Special 26 and Baby, in 2017, I’m collaborating with Neeraj Pandey once again! This time,we come together for ‘CRACK’ – A Neeraj Pandey film. Releases Independence Day weekend 2017.Need your love” Akshay tweeted on Monday.

The superstar now has three films that are scheduled to release in 2017; Jolly LLB 2 (10th February), Crack (11th August) and Robot 2.0 (Diwali tentative). He should also have one other film tentatively titled ‘Ikka’.

The announcement comes at a time when there were rumours within the industry that Shah Rukh Khan and Imtiaz Ali were looking at the Independence Day weekend for their next film.

  • But Why CRACK team released the poster today itself.
    POSTER is BRILLIANT,but they should have released this poster next year(2017) then
    it would help them to garner more buzz.

  • ANYONE CLASHING THEIR MOVIES WITH *CRACK* WILL RECEIVE THE SAME FATE LIKE MJD.
    .
    .
    AKSHAY KUMAR IS GOD.
    .
    .
    EVEN SRK & IMTIYAZ NEED GUTS TO CLASH WITH *CRACK*
    .
    .
    BRACE YOURSELF BO ANOTHER BLOCKBUSTER IS COMING.
    .
    .
    IF JOLLY LLB BECOMES HIT THEN 2017 WILL MAKE AKSHAY THE NO.1 SUPERSTAR IN COUNTRY

  • Religion Wala Jo Column Hota Hai Na, Waha Hum Bold Aur Capital Mein INDIAN Likhte Hai…

    Superb The Dialogue And Superb The Actor With The Dialogue Delivery…

    Salute You Akki…!!!

  • Neeraj pandey ruining his career making movies with akshaya

    hope he changes his mind after blockbuster MSD

  • @ bipin : yes it will be directed by neeraj pandey…
    awesome news… from the poster and bottom line, this seems to be a niche film again from the duo and can be matched with Hollywood standards.

  • A fantastic line-up for Akshay next year:

    Jolly LLB 2 (sequel to a national award winning film)

    Ikka (Remake of an AR Murgadoss’ film- the director of Ghajini, Holiday and many other blockbusters in South)

    Robot 2 (Needs no explanation)

    Namastey England- if releases next year (The hit pairing of Akki-Sona and from the director of Aankhen, Waqt and Namastey London)

    And now, CRACK (A Neeraj Pandey film and getting Independence Day advantage)

  • Superstar akshay sir will rock 2016-2020 with continious 15 100 crore grosser :-

    1. Three 100 crore grosser in 2016
    (a) airlift= 130 crore
    (b)Housefull 3=110 crore
    (c) rustom= 140 crore

    2. Four 100 crore grosser in 2017
    (a) jolly llb 2= 180 cr (because i think subash kapoor is rajkumar hirani type director, so jolly llb 2 will be huge plus most of the people loved jolly llb whether they watched it on tv , dvd or anywhere, point is that they loved it + superstar is there so jolly llb 2 will be huge)

    (b) Ikka (kathiti remake) = 150 crore (A. R.Murgadoss film, so this one also sure to cross 150 crore)

    (c) Robot 2.0 = 500 crore ( south superstar +bollywood superstar = dhamaka)

    (d) Namastey England =150 crore( sequel of 2007 superhit film )

    (e) Crack (neeraj pandey film) = 170 crore( looks like a classy + massy film)

  • @Indicine
    Please confirm AAMIR is doing THUG or not, 90% Bolly Websites has confirmed that AAMIR,DEEPIKA & AMITABH to team up for THUG SO PLEASE CONFIRM it.
    If yes then when it is scheduled to release Christmas 2017 or 2018.???

  • @DearZindagi

    From which angle does this look like a patriotic film? Sirf first look aaya hai aur abhi se hi reviews shuru

    @Javed

    Then why did Raees run away from Eid rather than clashing like Rustom(on a small holiday).

  • Just nailed it akshay sir, Blockbuster on d way. Cannot wait. Guys rustom running riots today. 20 cr plus for sure.

  • a crap director like Imtiyaaz Ali has absolutely no chance to stand infront of a director like Neeraj panday, If clash happens then the fate will be same as FlopWale or even worse than that coz FlopWale was released on Xmas period and this is not even that much lucrative !!!!

  • Khan’s are looking for leading actress, director, producer and edx meanwhile our Akki carrying film on his own shoulder.

  • All the best Akshay and his fans..Am sure another 100cr+ movie is on the way!!

    From Salman Fans

    Also those who are saying SRK should book release dates earlier, well he booked EID 2016 one year before, What happened? He ran away and now everyone calls him ‘Bhagoda King’

  • Great news One more Masterpiece for Akki Neeraj after Baby,special 26 !

    Indicine Kabir Khan also announced Ek tha Tiger sequal nd shared Salman Khan’s first look frm Tubelight

  • @indicine, will neeraj Pandey direct it or not?, well it looks interesting with the tagline “Every storm has a rage, every rage has a story”.

  • Everyone Saying Ky SRK ko Pehly se Dates book karni Chahiye
    REMEMBER Eid 2016 srk ne pehly book ki hoyi thi….Phir Kiya Hua…Every one knows….
    Star Mien Itna Dum Hota Hai Ky Jab Woh Koi Date Book Kary to 2sry bhaag jayen….Jesay Aamir Aur Salman…
    Real Kings Of Bollywood
    Srk …koi bhi holidays weekend book karly….clash ky liye koi bhi tayar hai even ranveer singh

  • Krack-jack will be a flop like akki’s independence day releases brothers and once upon a time in mumbai

  • 29 sep-navami
    30 sep-dushera
    1 oct-sunday
    2 oct-national holiday
    after that no movie will dare to release in that period…so 3 open weeks………so releasing a movie of three khans can get to 250 crore mark and can even challenge sultan bb and pk if content gets appreciation
    akshay and hrithik can also get a 150+ crore through this weekend…….common…..I want this date for
    salman khan-dabbang 3
    shahrukh khan-imtiyaj ali next
    akshay kumar -ikka
    any one of these above

  • 26Jan-Kaabil,Raees
    Feb-Jolly LLB 2
    May-Badshaho
    Post IPL – Dont Know
    Eid-Tubelight
    Independence day- Crack
    Diwali- Golmaal 4 (Aj sir also looking another festive weekend for magnum opus Sons Of Sardaar)

    Xmas – Padmaavati…two or three movie lined up for this day

    Please update if i missed something

  • a masterstroke must say.. watever u say I think akki has edged past hrithik n srk dats for sure.. his plan is simple.. he knows his limitations.. he knows he cannot give highest grossers n highest openers n stuff like that even if given the biggest of directors with biggest production houses n a solo holiday release.. so his plan is to work with small but smart directors with content n controlled budgets n maximum aim for hit status.. anything above will be a bonus.. even an above average n semihit status will recover the costs.. quite a khiladi must say! he shoots at a rapid pace n hence is able to do all kinds of diverse roles n films.. even if his film flops it does not matter as anyways there are no high expectations from him.. but a khan movie even underperforming a bit is trolled left right n centre.. too much is stake for them.. that way akshay is lucky.. would like all the other actors as well to do atleast do 2 films a year
