“A set of a Mumbai chawl is being created at Film City. The production design team has been instructed to build the set by mid-April. By then, Akshay will have wrapped up his portions of Bachchan Pandey and will turn his attention to the family drama,” reveals a source. The film, which was announced by the superstar on Raksha Bandhan last August, marks his reunion with filmmaker Aanand L Rai after Atrangi Re, which also stars Dhanush and Sara Ali Khan. The source adds, “Unlike Akshay’s past few movies, Raksha Bandhan is an emotional drama and will showcase him in a different light.”
Aanand L Rai
mid-day reached out to the film’s spokesperson, who remained unavailable for comment.
