Superstar Akshay Kumar and filmmaker     Neeraj Pandey, who have worked together in Special 26 and Baby, are re-teaming for an upcoming movie Rustom.
While their last two outings had Pandey both as a producer and on the director’s chair, “Rustom” will have the “A Wednesday” helmer only producing it under his and Shital Bhatia’s banner Friday Filmworks. Rustom will mark the directorial debut of Tinu Suresh Desai and will release on August 12, 2016.
Akshay, who turns 48 today, said he was thrilled to star in the film. “Having worked with Neeraj on two fabulous projects, I am excited to start work on our new film. I am happy that Zee’s Studios is putting its might behind this film along with KriArj Entertainment and Friday Filmworks. “It gives me and the entire team confidence of this launched worldwide using the global might of Zee,” the actor said in a statement.
Written by Vipul Rawal, the film is inspired by real life incidents and is being co-produced by Zee Studios and Arjun N Kapoor’s KriArj Entertainment. Pandey said Akshay was the perfect choice for the romantic-thriller.
“When Tinu narrated ‘Rustom’ to us we immediately got hooked to the quality of the narrative and its potential and instantly decided that it was something that we would like to produce. “We also really felt that given the nature of the story, Akshay would be the perfect fit and him agreeing to come on board will definitely give it the canvas it requires,” he said.
