While his lead co-star Kriti Sanon announced her schedule wrap up on Monday morning, followed by Arshad Warsi’s pack-up from the set, actor Jacqueline Fernandez shared with fans that she had begun shooting her portions of the upcoming action-comedy with Akshay.
Director Farhad Samji is currently filming Bachchan Pandey in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The film, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and also starring Pankaj Tripathi, will arrive in theatres next year. Bachchan Pandey is Kriti Sanon’s second film with Akshay Kumar after 2019 comedy Housefull 3, which was interestingly directed by Farhad Samji and his brother Sajid.
Kriti, who plays a journalist in the film, posted on Instagram an emotional note about her shooting experience writing, that the team made the film amid “echoing laughter and never-ending lunches.”
