New Delhi:It’s Akshay Kumar’s birthday and fans can expect a new film announcement. Akshay Kumar didn’t disappoint fans either and came up with a new horror comedy. Akshay Kumar is set to return to the big screen in the direction of Priyadarshan after 14 years.

Akshay Kumar has a number of films in hand. He was seen in a cameo role in Stree 2 and the film hinted at his comeback in the next installment. In a conversation with ANI, the film’s director Amar Kaushik revealed whether the third part of the franchise is in the works. He said, “I think it (Stree 2) was made in six years from the first (film). However, it won’t take six years; it will take at least three years.” When asked about Akshay Kumar’s presence in Stree 3, the director said, “It depends on the script. If the story demanded, he (Akshay Kumar) would be seen. Otherwise, he won’t get it.”
Akshay Kumar was last seen in Khel Khel Mein. The film also featured Vaani Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, Aditya Seal, Ammy Virk and Fardeen Khan in key roles. The movie clashed at the box office with Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2 and John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh’s Vedaa.
