Jacqueline Fernandez has joined the cast of the much-awaited action-comedy Bachchan Pandey. 

Helmed by Farhad Samji, the film also features Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon and Arshad Warsi in pivotal roles. 

In a recent look from the film, Akshay was seen in a badass, rugged avatar with a thick beard and scarred eye. 

Add to that, the red bandana and gold chains elevated his ripped physique even more. 

The highly anticipated film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Pvt Ltd. 

As per the reports, Jacqueline will start shooting for the film in the first week of January in Rajasthan. 

Did you know Bachchan Pandey will mark Jacqueline and Nadiadwala’s 8th film together after Judwaa and Housefull series? 

She recently said in a statement, “I was very new to the industry when I did the “Dhanno” song in Housefull for Nadiad and our bond and friendship has only grown since then. I am elated to be back working with him and Bachchan Pandey will mark our 8th film together after Judwaa and Housefull series. I cannot wait to reunite with Akshay once again. It is a crazy mad ride always with him, and I am sure we will have a blast together.”

Talking about the shoot schedule, Jacqueline said, “I am looking forward to starting shooting in January with them. I can not spill the beans on my character yet, but I can tell you it is a totally different avatar. This film will be an altogether a different experience for us as we would be shooting in the new normal owing to the ongoing pandemic but as we say the show must go on. With the precautions and norms for Covid -19 which would be taken care of, I am extremely excited to be at my ‘Happy Place’ with Sajid, Akshay and have a gala time.”

In Bachchan Pandey, Akshay Kumar will be seen essaying the role of a gangster who aspires to be an actor. 

Kriti Sanon will essay the role of a journalist, who harbours the dream of becoming a director, and Arshad Warsi will be seen as Bachchan Pandey’s friend.

For the uninitiated, Bachchan Pandey also marks Sajid Nadiadwala’s 10th collaboration with Akshay Kumar. 

More details regarding the film are awaited. We are totally excited for this one. What about you?
