**Anees Bazmee and Akshay Kumar Reunite for a Reimagined Version of *Sankranthiki Vasthunam***
After tasting success together in popular films like *Welcome* and *Singh Is Kinng*, filmmaker Anees Bazmee and actor Akshay Kumar are set to collaborate once again. Reliable sources have confirmed that their next project will be a reimagined version of the Venkatesh-led Telugu film *Sankranthiki Vasthunam*. The film will be produced by Dil Raju and is touted to be an out-and-out comic entertainer.
A source informed Bollywood Hungama, “Anees and Akshay loved the plot of the lead character stuck between his wife and ex-girlfriend that *Sankranthiki Vasthunam* rides on. However, the original had a lot of Telugu flavour. To make the film palatable for the Hindi audience, Anees Bazmee is reimagining the film while keeping the core plot intact.”
The source further revealed, “Anees is a master of cracking new screenplays based on already established films, and this one too will not just be bigger than the original, but also funnier. He plans to incorporate a lot of gags in the narrative which were not present in the original film.”
Having written numerous love triangles in the comic space over the last three decades, Bazmee’s expertise in situational comedy is expected to shine in this project.
The writing process is currently underway, with the makers aiming to start filming the untitled project in February 2026. It is important to note that this film is not a direct remake but a reimagined take on the original, with the screenplay featuring new scenes.
According to the source, “It’s 60 per cent fresh sequences and just 40 per cent original, to keep the essence of the plot intact.”
