After Toilet- Ek Prem Katha, Bhumi Pednekar and Akshay Kumar come together for Raksha Bandhan

In August 2020, Akshay Kumar had announced the film Raksha Bandhan with a poster featuring him. The film directed by Aanand L Rai was aiming for a November 2021 release. However, owing to the pandemic, the film has still not gone on floors.

The film will be going on floors on June 21. Ahead of the shoot, it has been revealed that Bhumi Pednekar will be playing the female lead of the film. Bhumi and Akshay will be reuniting after they played a married couple in the hit film Toilet-Ek Prem Katha. Last year, Akshay had also produced the film Bhaagamathie which had Bhumi in the lead.
