Actor Akshay Kumar is once again in the spotlight, thanks to the roaring success of his latest comedy entertainer Housefull 5, which continues to charm audiences in theatres and dominate the box office. As the film garners widespread praise and hefty collections, another exciting update has surfaced regarding his next big project.

Akshay Kumar’s Next Film: A Horror Thriller with a Top Director

According to a report by Mid-Day, Akshay Kumar is in talks with none other than ace director Siddharth Anand for a new film. Siddharth, who helmed the 2023 mega-blockbuster Pathaan starring Shah Rukh Khan — a film that raked in over ₹500 crores at the domestic box office — is reportedly developing a horror thriller this time, and Akshay is highly interested in the script.

The scriptwork is said to be nearly complete, and while Akshay has shown positive interest, an official confirmation from the actor is still awaited. If the deal goes through, this will mark a fresh genre for the superstar, as he transitions from his usual action-comedy zone to a spine-chilling horror thriller.

Fans can look forward to seeing Akshay Kumar bring his trademark intensity to a genre he has rarely explored — promising a unique cinematic experience filled with scares, suspense, and stellar storytelling.
