Akshay Kumar-Priyadarshan reunite again? ‘Wicked Sunny’ may be their wildest film yet

The iconic actor-director duo of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan appears to be unstoppable.

After their much-talked-about projects ‘Bhooth Bangla’ and ‘Haiwaan’, fresh reports suggest the two are gearing up for yet another collaboration — and this time, the film may carry an intriguing title: ‘Wicked Sunny’.

The update has sparked excitement among fans, especially because Akshay and Priyadarshan have delivered some of Bollywood’s most memorable comedy films over the years.

According to industry reports, the makers have reportedly locked ‘Wicked Sunny’ as the official title.

The name is said to align perfectly with the tone of the film and the personality of its lead character.

Interestingly, the title also carries a nostalgic connection.

Fans of ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ may remember ‘Wicked Sunny’ as the catchy background theme associated with Akshay Kumar’s character in the 2004 comedy.

That musical cue remains popular even after two decades, adding to the recall value of the title.

Sources suggest that ‘Wicked Sunny’ will showcase Akshay Kumar in a completely different comic space compared to his recent entertainers like ‘Bhooth Bangla’ and ‘Welcome To The Jungle’.

The film is expected to blend comedy, thrills, and a genre twist that Priyadarshan has reportedly not explored before.

This unique mix is said to be one of the biggest reasons why both the actor and director are excited about the project.

Priyadarshan has reportedly written the story himself and will be developing the screenplay alongside writer Rohan Shankar, who previously worked with him on ‘Bhooth Bangla’.

Ninth collaboration for the hit duo

If confirmed, this will mark the ninth collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan.

Their successful partnership has given Bollywood blockbuster hits like ‘Hera Pheri’, ‘Garam Masala’, ‘Bhagam Bhag’, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’, ‘De Dana Dan’, and ‘Khatta Meetha’.

Their upcoming film ‘Haiwaan’ is already slated for release on September 11, 2026, making ‘Wicked Sunny’ another major addition to their packed lineup.

When will the film go on floors?

Reports suggest the film is expected to begin production by December 2026.

Priyadarshan’s previously planned projects with Pankaj Tripathi and Mohanlal have reportedly been pushed to next year, making room for this Akshay Kumar starrer.

While an official announcement is still awaited, the buzz around ‘Wicked Sunny’ has already begun — and if the title is anything to go by, fans can expect a crazy ride ahead.
