According to a new report in Midday, Ajay Devgn’s next directorial is a two-hero action comedy film. A source told the portal that the Singham Again actor is impressed by Vicky Kaushal’s dedication to his work. Regarding the collaboration with Akshay Kumar, the source revealed, “Since the entertainer sees the two lead characters playing off each other, Ajay felt it would be novel to team up Akshay and Vicky.”

Meanwhile, Pinkvilla exclusively reported that the shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Love & War is now underway. It marks Vicky Kaushal’s first collaboration with the acclaimed filmmaker. Ranbir Kapoor is reuniting with SLB after 18 years.
