Akshay Kumar and Abhishek Bachchan to clash at the box-office on September 6

Just yesterday, we told you how Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions has shifted the release date of Akshay Kumar’s ‘Good News’ from July 19 to September 6. The film also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani. Now, Anurag Basu and Bhushan Kumar have joined hands together for an untitled film to release on September 6. The film stars Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanya Malhotra and Pankaj Tripathi.

Talking of the yet untitled film, the multi-starrer film is an action comedy that is about unavoidable jeopardies of life! The film has four different stories set in a quintessential Indian metro. It is a slice of life film with stories intersecting with each other with drama and emotion.

The producer-director duo have already shot major sequences with Abhishek in Mumbai and Kolkata last year. The director was busy shooting with Rajkummar and Fatima in Bhopal recently.

The signed actors will soon start for their respective portions while Bhushan Kumar and Anurag Basu are yet to sign a few more actors to join the ensemble. The character and roles of the actors are still under wraps, but we’ve heard that every actor has a chance to explore something they haven’t tried before.

Speaking on the film, director Anurag Basu says, “It’s my pleasure to be working with Mr. Bhushan Kumar for my next that is a dark comic anthology. It’s our first collaboration but doesn’t seem like one. I am extremely happy to have found this talented new generation cast, though I will trust my old friend Pritam for music as always!”

Producer Bhushan Kumar adds, “Anurag is a master storyteller and brings magic to celluloid in his films. I am happy we are working together. The characters, the story is so compelling and yet the treatment is so amusing. We have tried to bring on board a terrific cast who perfectly fit the roles that are written. Anurag and I are already planning on doing another project. I am keen on doing more films with Anurag and his team.”

Both Abhishek and Akshay’s films are multi-starrers, and are backed by two of the biggest production houses of Bollywood (T-Series and Dharma Productions). Will the clash happen? Or will one movie shift dates? What do you think folks? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
