Akshay Kumar will be reuniting with filmmaker Priyadarshan for a horror fantasy film backed by Ektaa R Kapoor. The two have previously worked together for Hera Pheri (2000) and Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007).

Priyadarshan told Hindustan Times, “Now that I am done with my docu-series on the Ram Mandir’s history, my most important film on which I am beginning work is the one with Akshay, produced by Ekta Kapoor. It is a horror fantasy with humour.”

When asked if it's like Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the filmmaker said, “That was a psychological thriller, but this one will be fantasy, in the backdrop of black magic, the oldest superstition of India. It is always a pleasure collaborating with Akshay. From our first film to this one, it has always turned out well with him, he handles the emotions so well. I was waiting for a good subject to get back with him, and this one I feel will be that.”

No further details about the film have been revealed, Kumar was last seen in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan alongside Tiger Shroff, he has a few films lined up including, Sky Force, Welcome to the Jungle, C Shankaran Nair biopic and a special appearance in Singham Again among others.
