The iconic Bollywood duo Akshay Kumar and filmmaker Priyadarshan are all set to reunite once again for their ninth collaboration, and this time the project reportedly comes with a finalised title — “Wicked Sunny”.

Known for delivering some of Hindi cinema’s most memorable comedies, the pair has already worked together on several hit films, and this upcoming project is already generating strong buzz even before production begins.

A new comic-thriller in the making

According to reports, Wicked Sunny will be a comic thriller that blends humour with engaging storytelling. The film is expected to show Akshay Kumar in a completely new comic avatar, different from his recent comedy outings.

The screenplay is reportedly co-written by Priyadarshan and writer Rohan Shankar, marking another creative collaboration after their previous work together.

Why the title “Wicked Sunny” matters

The makers believe the title perfectly matches the film’s quirky tone and central character. Interestingly, the title is also said to have a nostalgic connection, as a similar musical theme associated with Akshay Kumar was popular in “Mujhse Shaadi Karogi” (2004), which continues to resonate with audiences even today.

Shooting timeline & production

The film is expected to go on floors in December 2026, with production handled by Tips Films. The project is part of a larger collaboration lineup between Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan, which already includes multiple films in different stages of production.

A legendary hit partnership

The duo has previously delivered several successful films including:

• Hera Pheri
• Bhool Bhulaiyaa
• Bhagam Bhag
• De Dana Dan
• Khatta Meetha

With Wicked Sunny being their ninth collaboration, expectations are naturally high among fans who associate the pair with classic comedy entertainers.

🔥 What fans can expect

The film is expected to showcase:

• A fresh comic-thriller storyline
• A brand-new avatar of Akshay Kumar
• Priyadarshan’s signature humour style
• Strong nostalgic elements for longtime fans
