Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan Lock 'Wicked Sunny' as Next Film Title

Akshay Kumar is teaming up once again with acclaimed director Priyadarshan for their next venture, which has been officially titled 'Wicked Sunny'. This exciting project comes close on the heels of the duo’s recent success with 'Bhooth Bangla', further fueling anticipation among movie lovers.

Produced by Ramesh Taurani under the Tips Films banner, 'Wicked Sunny' is expected to showcase Akshay in a side-splitting comic role, setting it apart from his recent comedic outings in films like 'Bhooth Bangla' and 'Welcome To The Jungle'. As per a report from Bollywood Hungama, "Wicked Sunny will feature Akshay Kumar in a wacky comic avatar, distinctly different from the characters he has played in recent comic capers." The film’s title also carries a nostalgic connection, referencing the memorable theme that played during Akshay’s scenes in the hit film 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'.

Fans have already started buzzing about the unique title and Akshay’s promised new look, with social media circles expressing excitement about the collaboration. The project is slated to go on floors in December 2026, building up considerable hype in the lead-up.

With expectations high, audiences will be keenly awaiting updates as 'Wicked Sunny' heads into production, promising laughter and novelty from a proven actor-director duo.
