Akshay Kumar hints at announcing Priyadarshan’s horror-comedy on his birthday
Bollywood’s Khiladi Akshay Kumar has been giving his fans some good news about his next with one of the most acclaimed filmmakers, Priyadarshan. On Saturday, September 2, the actor went onto his Instagram account and shared a mysterious video hinting that something special would be announced on his birthday, September 9. A strong buzz went out to say that Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan were coming together after 14 years for a horror-comedy film.
Akshay’s Instagram Teaser
Akshay Kumar shared on his Instagram, “Ganpati Bappa Morya! What better day than today to give you a sneak peek into something special coming your way. Reveal on my birthday! Stay tuned!” And the time this was announced, ripples of excitement ran through the fans who were awaiting further big announcements.
Since his birthday falls on the corner, Akshay’s post has left the fans speculating about the project. However, several reports suggest strongly that the announcement will confirm his return to the big screen in a horror-comedy by Priyadarshan.
Reunion After 14 Years: Akshay and Priyadarshan
This horror-comedy will mark Akshay Kumar’s first collaboration with Priyadarshan since Khatta Meetha released in 2010. Having worked on their first film since then, having collaborated on films like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, indeed this duo is known to give Bollywood some unforgettable comedies.
While Priyadarshan weaves the plot into humour, Akshay Kumar’s comic timing has been perfect in all his films; hence, a lot is expected from this new film.
The Horror-Comedy Genre: A Surefire Formula
Horror-comedy has evolved as one of the sought-after genres in Indian films, which melds thrills with laughter. Akshay Kumar tasted success with Bhool Bhulaiyaa in 2007, a box office success and a film that attained cult status. Coming back into this genre, more so with a director like Priyadarshan, should work in his favor to keep the moviegoers excited.
Akshay and Priyadarshan time and over have proved to be versatile in any genre. Their ability to package a supposedly appealing film with crowd-pleasing narratives may promise a hit project. Much as fans had expected from most of their collaborations, they hope this new horror-comedy brings that magic into play.
Looking Ahead: What to Expect
As Akshay Kumar’s birthday draws near, his fans anxiously wait for confirmation regarding an official announcement that would give away the details pertaining to the venture. The combination of Priyadarshan himself has sent the film fraternity into a frenzy; hence, this official declaration will spell out all the details pertaining to casting, plot, and date of release.
Meanwhile, the teaser did its job of building anticipation for the movie, which easily can find a place in the pipeline of one of the most awaited releases in Bollywood. If the past is anything to go by, then this horror-comedy definitely will strike just the right balance between laughs, scares, and entertainment value.
Conclusion: A Promising Reunion
Anticipation will run high when Akshay Kumar gears up for the announcement of his next big venture on his 57th birthday. This time, the reunification with Priyadarshan promises to restore the magic they have created in times past, while the genre of horror-comedy is relatively fresh new ground on which to flex their talents. Enthusiasts will now count the days until September 9th when the official announcement will be done-perhaps signaling another beginning of sorts in Bollywood.
