Akshay Kumar has been a part of the Indian film industry for over three decades now, but it was only in 2019 that he collaborated with Karan Johar for the first time. The duo gave the successful war drama Kesari and followed it with another blockbuster Good Newwz. Now, this hit duo of Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar are back for their third collaboration Selfiee, and are looking to achieve their hattrick of success.
Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar team up for a third time for Selfiee
Both Akshay and Karan are strong forces in the Indian film industry, thus them coming together is a special feat. Their first project had to be something special too and that is what Kesari was. Depicting the Battle of Saragarhi, Kesari touched the hearts of the audiences as it showed the valour of the 21 Sikh soldiers involved in a fight against a huge British army. Post that, the duo teamed up again for the light-hearted dramedy Good Newwz. The film was Raj Mehta’s directorial debut and also featured Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani. It was a huge success as well critically and commercially. Now, Selfiee marks their third collaboration.
