Now, it is exciting for fans as the duo has planned to reunite with a comedy film. 

"Akshay and I were supposed to take the film on floors by December. But, due to the current crisis, my films have got delayed. This movie will roll by July or August," said Priyadarshan, adding that Akshay recently greenlit the final draft of the yet-untitled comedy. However, with Akshay being busy with Bell Bottom in Scotland, Priyadarshan is currently utilizing his time to wrap Hungama 2.

Despite their successful collaborations in the past, the duo stopped working post Khatta Meetha in 2010 with reports suggesting that Akshay was keen to join forces with new directors. On reuniting with Akshay, Priyadarshan said, "All these years, I was afraid whether I had the right subject to approach him. His doors were always open for me, but I did not go to him. He is still the same, constantly in search of good content. I have had bitter experiences in Bollywood where I have found it difficult to [reach out to] certain stars. After doing so many films, I don't want to beg stars to work with me. I would rather work with people who like to team up with me."
