Mumbai: Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush are all set to resume shooting in October for their upcoming film Atrangi Re.
The Aanand L. Rai directorial will follow a shooting schedule across Madurai, Delhi and Mumbai.
"During this lockdown, I've taken out a lot of time to prepare for the upcoming schedules of Atrangi Re. I'm really excited to start the next schedule, which is planned to happen in Madurai, October onwards, and then with Akshay for a month in Delhi and Mumbai, with all safety precautions in place, of course," Rai shared.
The film, which reunites Dhanush and Aanand after their 2013 critical hit Raanjhanaa, will feature Akshay in a "special role." Sara is playing the female lead in the movie.
Atrangi Re has been written by National Award winner Himanshu Sharma, who last worked with Rai on Zero (2018). Oscar-winner AR Rahman will be scoring the music.
Before the lockdown, Sara and Dhanush have already finished the film's first schedule in Varanasi.
