Jacqueline Fernandez is on a roll. The actress recently wrapped up a schedule of Bhoot Police, and reportedly, she will soon start shooting for Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus. She also has films like Attack and Kick 2 in her kitty, and now, Jacqueline has been roped in to star in Bachchan Pandey.


Jacqueline took to Instagram to inform her fans about it. She posted, “Super excited to join #SajidNadiadwala's #BachchanPandey gang ? My 'Happy Place' with Nadiad @akshaykumar & the whole crew at @nadiadwalagrandson ♥️ @kritisanon @farhadsamji @arshad_warsi @wardakhannadiadwala."

This will be Jacqueline’s fourth film with Akshay Kumar. She has earlier worked with the actor in films like Housefull 2, Housefull 3 and Brothers. And with Sajid Nadiadwala, this will be her fifth film.

Jacqueline has been away from the big screen from more than two years. Her last theatrical release was Race 3. However, we got to see her on Netflix in two movies Drive (2019) and Mrs. Serial Killer (2020).

Directed by Farhad Samji and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Bachchan Pandey was announced last year with Akshay Kumar and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles. A few days ago, it was revealed that Arshad Warsi is also a part of the film, and there were reports that an A-list actress will join the cast.

  • UK ranks among worst for treatable mortality, ahead of only US in global analysis.
  • NHS spending has reached £242 billion, but infrastructure gaps persist.
  • Shortage of scanners, beds and delays in care continue to affect outcomes.

The NHS is facing renewed scrutiny after a major international analysis suggested that UK patient survival rates remain among the weakest in developed healthcare systems, despite record levels of spending.

The report, led by the Institute for Public Policy Research, found that the UK ranks near the bottom among 22 countries for treatable mortality, a measure of deaths that could potentially be avoided with timely and effective care. Only the US performed worse.
