Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Saturday that Akshay Kumar will play a quirky tiger hunter in Priyadarshan’s yet‑untitled comedy set in the 1970s.
- The film is being produced by Ramesh Taurani and will mark Priyadarshan’s 99th feature, with sources saying shooting is scheduled to begin in the last week of November.
- Reports say the production plans a three‑month schedule at wildlife locations in Rajasthan and on sets in Mumbai, with locations in Bhopal also being scouted.
- Veteran actors Annu Kapoor and Rajpal Yadav are reported to be attached while the search for the female lead continues and the director has declined further comment until the project is formally locked.
- The pairing reunites a commercial comedy team behind hits from the 2000s and the two 2026 collaborations, a development that signals a return to broad Hindi comedy that fans and box‑office watchers will follow closely.
