After weeks of speculation around the casting, HT City has learnt that Vidya Balan has been roped in as one of the leading ladies in the upcoming film. The project marks Akshay and Bazmee’s reunion after 14 years, following their last collaboration in Thank You, which was released in 2011.     According to sources close to the development, Vidya’s name emerged early during discussions, and the decision was unanimously welcomed by the team. “Akshay and Vidya share effortless chemistry as actors, something audiences have loved in films like Heyy Babyy (2007), Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007) and Mission Mangal. Off screen too, they share a warm equation, which made this an easy yes for everyone involved,” the source revealed.          The film is said to feature two prominent female characters, with Vidya Balan playing one of the leads. Details about the second leading lady and the storyline are being kept under wraps. Insiders are suggesting that the narrative has been designed to balance humour, emotion, and strong character arcs. This is an area both Bazmee and Akshay are known to excel in.     This project will also mark Akshay and Vidya’s first on-screen collaboration in six years, after the 2019 hit Mission Mangal. Their pairing has long been popular with audiences. Their popularity skyrocketed after the cult success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa. This makes their reunion one of the most anticipated aspects of the film.     Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar’s professional slate remains packed. The actor is currently busy with multiple projects, including Welcome To The Jungle, Haiwaan and Bhooth Bhangla. All these projects are progressing at full pace. Bhooth Bangla and Haiwaan will mark Akshay Kumar’s reunion with Priyadarshan for the 6th and 7th film respectively. Also Read: Akshay Kumar Says THIS About Akshaye Khanna’s Performance in Dhurandhar。
