Akshay Kumar to star in Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Rustom’

Superstar Akshay Kumar is set to collaborate again with filmmaker Neeraj Pandey for his next, “Rustom”.

The romantic-thriller will be Akshay and “A Wednesday” director Pandey’s third film after their 2013 movie “Special 26” and this year’s espionage-action thriller “Baby”.

The “Brothers” actor, who celebrates his 48th birthday on Wednesday, took to Twitter to announce the news.

“Thrilled to announce Neeraj Pandey & I are collaborating for a romantic thriller #Rustom releasing on Aug 12, 2016! Hoping to be third time lucky…”

The actor rang in his birthday with a late night dinner with wife, Twinkle Khanna.

She wished him on his birthday and shared a picture of the duo.

“All set for the birthday boy’s dinner #happybirthday.”

Akshay will be next seen in Prabhudheva’s action-comedy “Singh Is Bliing” and Raja Krishna Menon’s “Airlift”, which also stars “The Lunchbox” actress Nimrat Kaur.

Pandey is currently working on Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s biopic, “MS Dhoni: The Untold Story”, starring Sushant Singh Rajput in the titular role.
