Superstar Akshay Kumar on Wednesday announced that Bhumi Pednekar is set to star alongside him in Aanand L Rai’s upcoming feature film Rakshabandhan.
The actor duo has previously collaborated on movies like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017) and Pednekar-starrer Durgamati, on which Kumar served as co-producer. ‘When you are happy, it shows. And indeed we are… To have @bhumipednekar onboard #RakshaBandhan,” Kumar wrote on Twitter alongside a picture with Pednekar and Rai.
The film is written by Rai’s longtime collaborator and National Award-winning screenwriter Himanshu Sharma, known for Zero, Raanjhanaa and the Tanu Weds Manu franchise. Rakshabandhan is described as a special tale which celebrates ‘relationships in the most beautiful way’.
The film will be Kumar’s second collaboration with Rai, after Atrangi Re. (PTI)
