Sajid Nadiadwala’s Bachchan Pandey starring Akshay Kumar was announced back in July 2019 and was slated to release Christmas 2020. The movie was all set to clash with Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha. But now the makers have shifted the release date to avoid the clash. The Akshay Kumar starrer will now release on the 22nd of January 2021.
Aamir Khan thanked Akshay Kumar for shifting the release date of his movie. Akshay soon responded and also shared a new poster with the new release date. He wrote, ,”Anytime @aamir_khan, we’re all friends here ? Presenting – new look, new release date. Coming on 22nd January, 2021. In and as #BachchanPandey!#SajidNadiadwala@farhad_samji @kritisanon”
In the new poster, Akshay Kumar can be seen in a close up look, sporting a beard and a lungi with multiple gold chains and a red headband on the forehead. His new fierce look has created a buzz on social media.
Back in 2019, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment completed 65 years in the industry and also had a hatrick of super hits at the box office with Super 30, Chhichhore, and Housefull 4.
‘Bachchan Pandey’ will be directed by Farhad Samji and it will be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. Bachchan Pandey will mark another collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Sajid Nadiadwala after last year’s Housefull 4 which went on to make over 200 crores at the box office.
