Akshay was recently seen in the spy-thriller, BellBottom, which was the first major Bollywood film to release in theatres after the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The film also starred Vaani Kapoor, Huma Qureshi and Lara Dutta.
Akshay’s other upcoming projects include Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi with Katrina Kaif, Aanand L Rai’s Atrangi Re with Dhanush and Sara Ali Khan, Prithviraj with Manushi Chhillar, Bachchan Pandey with Kriti Sanon and Jacqueline Fernandez, and Raksha Bandhan with Bhumi Pednekar.
