Akshay Kumar’s Next Comedy Gets Bigger as R Madhavan, Disha Patani and Shriya Saran Join the Cast

Akshay Kumar is heading back into comedy, and this time he is bringing an exciting new ensemble with him. R Madhavan, Disha Patani and Shriya Saran have reportedly joined Akshay Kumar and director Sajid Khan’s upcoming untitled comedy, creating a star-packed project that is already attracting attention.

The film is being produced by Ektaa R Kapoor and is planned as an out-and-out comedy. According to recent reports, the story will revolve around middle-aged men and a series of misunderstandings that lead to comic situations.

Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan Reunite for Comedy

One of the biggest attractions of the upcoming film is the reunion of Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan.

The two actors previously shared the screen in Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, where they were seen as rivals in a courtroom drama. Their next collaboration will take them into completely different territory, with the actors expected to explore a lighter and more comedic dynamic.

The pairing could be particularly interesting because audiences have already seen the two performers handle intense dramatic material together. This time, their contrasting personalities and comic timing are expected to become an important part of the film.

Disha Patani and Shriya Saran Join the Ensemble

The project has also added Disha Patani and Shriya Saran to its principal cast.

Reports indicate that the two actresses will play the romantic leads opposite Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan. While specific character details have not been revealed, their inclusion gives the film a four-lead ensemble and adds a romantic angle to the comedy.

The makers have not yet announced the official title, so for now the project remains an untitled Akshay Kumar-Sajid Khan comedy.

Sajid Khan and Akshay Kumar Are Reuniting

The film also marks another collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Sajid Khan.

The actor-director duo previously worked together on Heyy Babyy, Housefull and Housefull 2. Their upcoming project will therefore mark their return to comedy together after Housefull 2.

For fans of Akshay’s comedy films, that reunion alone makes the project worth watching. Adding R Madhavan, Disha Patani and Shriya Saran makes the ensemble even more intriguing.

What Is Akshay Kumar’s New Comedy About?

The movie is reportedly being developed as a comedy of errors centred around middle-aged men. The story is expected to use misunderstandings and complicated situations as the source of its humour.

The makers are also planning the film on a relatively large scale rather than treating it as a small situational comedy. However, the exact plot, character descriptions and title have not been officially revealed yet.

That leaves plenty of room for curiosity around what kind of characters Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan will play and how Disha Patani and Shriya Saran fit into the story.

When Will the Film Begin Shooting?

According to current reports, the film could go on floors in London toward the end of 2026 or in early 2027.

Akshay Kumar is expected to begin the comedy after completing Samuk, while Sajid Khan is currently working on Hero Ki Horrorine. The upcoming comedy is reportedly planned around a start-to-finish shooting schedule.

The official release date has not been announced yet.

A Fresh Comedy Combination to Watch

Akshay Kumar returning to an ensemble comedy alongside R Madhavan already gives the project an interesting hook. Add Disha Patani and Shriya Saran, and the film suddenly has a cast capable of bringing together comedy, romance and contrasting character dynamics.

For Madhavan in particular, the project could offer a very different opportunity from his previous collaboration with Akshay. After playing opposing characters in Kesari Chapter 2, the actors are reportedly preparing to share a much lighter screen space.

With Sajid Khan returning to the comedy genre with Akshay Kumar and a fresh ensemble now in place, this untitled project could become one of the more interesting comedy films to watch as production moves forward.

For now, fans will have to wait for the official title, character details, first look and release date before the full picture becomes clear.
