In a exciting development, peepingmoon.com confirmed that Vaani Kapoor has been confirmed to star opposite Akshay Kumar in the upcoming comedy-drama Khel Khel Mein, directed by Mudassar Aziz. This collaboration marks a reunion for Vaani and Akshay, who previously worked together on the 2021 action thriller Bell Bottom.
Contrary to earlier reports, Taapsee Pannu is not the lead actress in the film. Instead, Vaani Kapoor will play the female lead alongside Akshay Kumar. Khel Khel Mein boasts an ensemble cast, including Taapsee Pannu, Ammy Virk, Aditya Seal, Pragya Jaiswal, and Fardeen Khan.
The film, scheduled for release in September 2024, promises to be a comedy of errors involving three couples. Mudassar Aziz, known for his work in the comedy-drama genre, aims to deliver a rollercoaster of emotions that transcends the ordinary.
Earlier, some Bollywood sites mistakenly reported that Akshay and Taapsee were paired opposite each other in Khel Khel Mein, given their previous collaborations in Baby, Naam Shabana, and Mission Mangal. However, Vaani Kapoor’s involvement in the project has now been confirmed, putting an end to the rumors.
