Last
year,
Akshay
Kumar
had
announced
that
he
will
be
teaming
up
with
Aanand
L
Rai
for
a
film
titled
Raksha
Bandhan.
Since
then,
fans
have
been
eagerly
waiting
to
know
more
details
about
this
slice
of
life
film
which
is
set
in
the
heartland
of
India.
Now,
according
to
a
report
in
a
news
portal,
the
pre-production
works
of
this
Akshay
Kumar
starrer
is
going
on
in
full
swing.
The
report
further
stated
that
a
set
of
a
Mumbai
chawl
is
being
created
at
a
Mumbai
studio,
and
the
production
design
team
has
been
instructed
to
build
the
set
by
mid-April.
Buzz
is
that
Akshay
will
begin
shooting
for
this
film
after
wrapping
his
portions
of
Sajid
Nadiadwala's
Bachchan
Pandey
which
also
stars
Kriti
Sanon
and
Jacqueline
Fernandez.
Speaking
about
Raksha
Bandhan,
unlike
Akshay's
past
few
movies,
this
film
is
an
emotional
drama
and
will
showcase
him
in
a
different
light.
According
to
reports,
the
superstar
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
a
caring
elder
brother
to
three
sisters
in
the
film,
which
rides
on
emotion
that
every
Indian
can
relate
to.
We
hear
that
the
film
will
tentatively
go
on
floors
from
April
15.
Akshay
had
announced
Raksha
Bandhan
last
year
with
a
post
that
read,
"A
story
that
touches
your
heart
so
deeply...It's
the
quickest
I've
signed
a
film
in
my
career.
Dedicating
this
film,
#RakshaBandhan
to
my
sister,
Alka
&
to
the
most
special
bond
in
the
world...that
of
a
brother
and
sister.
Thank
you
@aanandlrai,
this
one
is
very
special."
Apart
from
Raksha
Bandhan,
Akshay
has
a
string
of
exciting
projects
which
include
Bell
Bottom,
Prithviraj,
Atrangi
Re
and
Ram
Setu.
