The actor said in a statement, "I quite enjoy the process of losing or gaining weight for a character because I am able to do it in a healthy way. I have gained 5 kg in a totally natural process. And it also allowed me the rare indulgence of eating meri maa ke haath ka halwa. What a blessing!"

Current Akshay is shooting for Raksha Bandhan in Mumbai, and he will be seen sharing screen space with Bhumi Pednekar and five fresh faces who will play his sisters in the film.

The film is billed as a special tale which celebrates relationships in the most beautiful way. The film is penned by writer couple Himanshu Sharma and Kanika Dhillon, and backed by Colour Yellow Production in association with Cape of Good Films.
