Most recently seen in Yash Raj Films’ Samrat Prithviraj, Akshay Kumar has announced a new film, Capsule Gill.
The upcoming film is a biopic of chief mining engineer Jaswant Gill. If reports are to be believed, Kumar has landed in the UK and is currently filming some important scenes under the direction of Tinu Suresh Desai.
Bankrolled by Vashu Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, and Jackky Bhagnani via Pooja Entertainment, the film is a true story based on Gill’s life, who led the rescue operation to save over 60 lives when a coal mine in Raniganj was flooded in 1989.
A recent photo of Kumar dressed like a Punjabi Sardar from the sets of the film has gone viral on social media.
Kumar is expected to shoot in the UK till the end of July after which, he will return to India to promote his next release Raksha Bandhan, directed by Aanand L Rai. The film is set to release on August 11, 2022.
In addition to Kumar, Capsule Gill also stars Parineeti Chopra, who is playing his on-screen wife. The actress will be joining her co-star in the UK.
This is not the first time the two will be working together on a film. Earlier, they shared the screen space for Dharma Productions’ Kesari.
From what we hear is that the makers of Capsule Gill are leaving no stone unturned to shoot the film on a large scale and have reportedly blocked 100 acres of land for shooting. It is being billed as the biggest Indian production to ever take place in the UK as far as the scale is concerned.
If all goes well, Akshay Kumar and the team are looking at wrapping up the film by August end and then commence work on post-production.

The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
