India, April 28 -- After the super success of Bhooth Bangla, which marked their reunion after 14 years, actor Akshay Kumar and filmmaker Priyadarshan have added two more films to their slate, continuing a long creative partnership that dates back to the 2000s. Both projects will be produced by Ramesh Taurani. A source close to the development shares, "The first film, a comedy, will go on floors in January 2027. Akshay has also come on board as the leading man for Bhoot Police 2, also being directed by Priyadarshan. The team is on the lookout for the second male lead, who will join Akshay in it. Talks for both films had been on for the past two months and it's only recently that all details have been finalised." When contacted, Taurani confirmed the news, saying, "Yes, we are producing both the films with Akshay and Priyadarshan." Interestingly, Taurani is the only common link between the original Bhoot Police and its sequel. The 2021 film starred Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Yami Gautam, and Jaaved Jaaferi, and was directed by Pavan Kirpalani, with Taurani and Akshai Puri as producers. Apart from these projects, Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan are also working on Haiwaan and Hera Pheri 3, although the status of the latter remains unclear. The duo have previously collaborated on several films, including Hera Pheri (2000), Bhagam Bhag (2006), and Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), among others....
