**Akshay Kumar and Anees Bazmee Reunite for a Madcap Love Triangle: A Reimagined Version of *Sankranthiki Vasthunam***
After tasting success together with films like *Welcome* and *Singh Is Kinng*, Akshay Kumar and Anees Bazmee are set to collaborate once again. Our reliable sources have confirmed that their next project will be a reimagined version of the Venkatesh-led Telugu film *Sankranthiki Vasthunam*. Produced by Dil Raju, the film is touted to be an out-and-out comic entertainer.
A source shared with Bollywood Hungama, “Anees and Akshay loved the plot of the lead character stuck between his wife and ex-girlfriend, which *Sankranthiki Vasthunam* revolves around. However, the original had a strong Telugu flavour. To make the film more relatable for the Hindi audience, Anees Bazmee is reimagining the story while keeping the core plot intact.”
The source further added, “Anees is a master at crafting new screenplays inspired by established films. This project will not only be bigger than the original but also funnier, as he plans to incorporate many new gags that were not present in the original film. Over the past three decades, Bazmee has written several love triangles in the comic space, and this film falls perfectly within his expertise in situational comedy.”
Currently, the writing process is in full swing, and the makers are aiming to take the untitled film on floors by February 2026. It’s important to note that the film is not a remake but a reimagined take on the original, with the screenplay packaged with fresh new scenes.
According to the source, “About 60 percent of the sequences will be fresh, while roughly 40 percent will retain the original elements to keep the essence of the plot intact.”
