Akshay’s Twitter account swung skywards after the actor announced the date of his upcoming masala entertainer ‘Bachchan Pandey’.
The Rowdy Rathore actor made the announcement with a bang on twitter with two posters which show him in his usual ‘tashan’ carrying a bag loaded with guns and sickles.
Set for an Holi release, the Farhad-Samji directed movie will hit the big screens on March 18.
The film is loaded with action, comedy, romance and drama and it will explode the big screens on March 18, 2022.
Akshay, who will be playing the titular role in the movie, will be seen along with Kriti Sanon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Pankaj Tripathi, Arshad Warsi, Prateik Babbar and Abhimanyu Singh.
