Akshay Kumar vs Ajay Devgn vs Aamir Khan at the box office on Christmas 2020

Akshay Kumar has films like Mission Mangal, Housefull 4, Good News, Laxmmi Bomb and Sooryavanshi in his kitty and now, today he has announced one more movie. Akshay will be seen in a movie titled Bachchan Pandey which will be directed by Farhad Samji.

The actor took to Twitter to announce the movie and share the first look poster of the film. He tweeted, “Coming on Christmas 2020! In & As #BachchanPandey ? In #SajidNadiadwala’s Next, directed by @farhad_samji @NGEMovies @WardaNadiadwala.”


Akshay is showing off his chiseled body in the poster and he is looking quite hot. But what grabbed our attention was the release date, Christmas 2020.

Luv Ranjan’s next starring Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor is also slated to release on Christmas 2020, and on the same day, even Aamir Khan will be coming on the big screen with his movie Lal Singh Chaddha. So, of course, it will be the clash of the titans as senior actors like Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar will be pitted against each other at the box office.

Well, Christmas 2020 is quite far, so we won’t be surprised if the makers of these movies plan to change their release date.

Title Bachchan Pandey reminds us of Akshay’s character from YRF’s Tashan. In the movie, his character was named Bachchan Pandey. Reportedly, Kriti Sanon will be seen opposite Akshay in the film. Akki and Kriti are also paired opposite each other in Housefull 4 which is also directed by Samji.

Talking about Luv Ranjan’s next, there are reports that Deepika Padukone and Nushrat Bharucha are roped in as the female leads of the film. Coming to Lal Singh Chaddha, the movie is a remake of Hollywood film Forrest Gump and reportedly stars Kareena Kapoor Khan opposite Aamir in the film.  Well, if the reports turn out to be true, it will surely be interesting to watch Aamir and Kareena on the big screen after a long gap.

These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
