Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan, one of Bollywood’s most successful actor-director duos, are set to reunite for their ninth collaboration with the upcoming comic thriller Wicked Sunny. The pair, known for delivering classics like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, are teaming up once again to bring audiences a wacky comedy produced by Tips Films. The script has been penned by Priyadarshan in collaboration with Rohan Shankar, promising a blend of nostalgia and fresh humor.
Filming for Wicked Sunny is scheduled to begin in December 2026. The title itself is a playful nod to Akshay Kumar’s mischievous persona, recalling his earlier on-screen antics alongside Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra. This connection has already sparked excitement among fans, who have been sharing nostalgic clips from the duo’s past hits across social media platforms.
While anticipation is high, some fans and industry observers have raised questions about whether the project is leaning too heavily on nostalgia. Concerns have also surfaced regarding potential trademark issues with the original producers of earlier films, though no official disputes have been confirmed.
Despite these discussions, the announcement has generated significant buzz, with audiences eager to see if Wicked Sunny can recapture the magic of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan’s past collaborations while offering something new for today’s viewers.
