Akshay Kumar and filmmaker Priyadarshan are set to collaborate once again, and their upcoming film has reportedly been titled Wicked Sunny. The project marks yet another addition to the successful partnership between the actor and the director, who have delivered several memorable films over the years.
According to the latest reports, the makers have finalised Wicked Sunny as the title of the film. The title is said to complement the tone of the story as well as the personality of Akshay Kumar’s character. It also carries nostalgic value, as “Wicked Sunny” was the name of the memorable theme associated with Akshay’s character in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.
The film is expected to present Akshay Kumar in a quirky comic avatar that is said to be different from the roles he has portrayed in his recent comedy films. Reports suggest that the actor’s character has been designed to bring a fresh flavour to the comedy genre while staying true to Priyadarshan’s signature style of storytelling.
The project is backed by Tips Films and is expected to be a comedy thriller. The screenplay has reportedly been written by Priyadarshan along with Rohan Shankar, who previously collaborated with the filmmaker on Bhooth Bangla.
Reports further suggest that the film is likely to go on the floors in December this year. While the makers have not officially revealed additional details about the cast or storyline, the announcement of the title has already generated excitement among fans.
Wicked Sunny will mark the ninth collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan. The actor-director duo has previously worked together on several popular films, and their reunion has continued to generate anticipation among moviegoers.
