Bollywood Mascot: Akshay Kumar to Kickstart New Comedy Franchise with Mrigdeep Singh Lamba

Bollywood’s comedy king Akshay Kumar is all set to make a grand return to the comedy genre with an exciting new project. After the recent release of his film Bhoot Bangla, Kumar is gearing up to start a new comedy franchise in collaboration with Mrigdeep Singh Lamba, the director of the hit film Fukrey. Fans can expect to see Kumar and acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripathi share the screen once again in this new venture.

Akshay Kumar’s Upcoming Comedy Projects

Akshay Kumar, known for his impeccable comic timing, has been involved in several projects recently. His film Khel Khel Mein, released on August 15, did not fare well at the box office, though it was released alongside Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2, where Kumar made a notable cameo. Despite this, Kumar has been busy working on his upcoming film Bhoot Bangla, a horror comedy directed by Priyadarshan.

Now, Kumar is set to dive back into the comedy genre with a new franchise being developed in collaboration with Mrigdeep Singh Lamba. Lamba, who gained popularity for his work on Fukrey, is partnering with Kumar to create a fresh and engaging comedy film. This new project is expected to follow a story centered around four underdog characters striving for something big, reflecting themes similar to Fukrey.

A New Comedy Franchise in the Making

The forthcoming film will focus on four young protagonists and their adventurous journey, aligning with the underdog theme. With Lamba’s knack for crafting entertaining and relatable stories, this new franchise is anticipated to resonate well with audiences, especially those who enjoyed Fukrey. Although there has been no official announcement yet, sources close to the project have hinted that this new venture aims to elevate the comedy genre to new heights.

Pankaj Tripathi’s Involvement

Adding to the excitement, Pankaj Tripathi is rumored to be joining Kumar in this new film. Tripathi, who has previously worked with Kumar in OMG 2 and Bachchan Pandey, is known for his excellent comic timing and is expected to bring an additional layer of humor to the project. The film will reportedly be shot in various locations in Delhi, including Dwarka, Dabri, and Janakpuri.

With a lineup that includes Welcome to the Jungle, Bhoot Bangla, Housefull 5, and Jolly LLB 3, Akshay Kumar continues to expand his diverse filmography. This new comedy franchise, spearheaded by Kumar and Lamba, is poised to offer a fresh and entertaining experience for fans of Bollywood comedy.
