Overview

  • Anand took to his X account on June 5 to dismiss collaboration rumors with the one-word post “False.”
  • Early reports suggested he would produce a folklore-based horror drama under his Marflix banner, directed by a debutant, but Anand’s denial left the project unconfirmed.
  • Akshay Kumar’s supporters criticized the director’s refusal and urged him to join the actor on a new horror venture.
  • Housefull 5, the newest installment in the comedy-mystery franchise, opened in theaters on June 6 featuring two alternate endings.
  • Anand is currently occupied with shooting Shah Rukh Khan’s King, making any official Kumar collaboration unlikely in the immediate future.
