Aanand L. Rai directorial ‘Raksha Bandhan’ is gearing up to be a huge blockbuster. With the movie’s music album already being a fan favourite, the trailer is building great anticipation amongst the audience and of course, it being an Akshay Kumar film, the movie has already ticked off the golden trifecta.
Recently we got a chance to interview the multi-genre star, Akshay Kumar himself and here’s what he had to say, “I had a lot of fun playing my role in Raksha Bandhan. It is a character that belongs to a middle class family embroiled in everyday middle class problems trying to make ends meet and having the responsibility of getting his four sisters married.”
When Akshay was asked about his role and the movie in general is unique that the ones he’s done before, he shared, “I have essayed many roles in my career, strangely I haven’t worked in a film which focuses on this special brother-sister bond, something which is so relatable and universal. Actually I don’t think we have many such films in our industry. So in that sense, I got to try something new.”
‘Raksha Bandhan’ is also produced by Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma’s Colour Yellow Productions in association with Zee Studios, Alka Hiranandani and Cape of Good Films, written by Himanshu Sharma and Kanika Dhillon. Music of Rakshabandhan has been composed by Himesh Reshammiya and Lyrics are by Irshad Kamil. Raksha Bandhan featuring Bhumi Pednekar, Akshay Kumar, Neeraj Sood, Seema Pahwa, Sadia Khateeb, Abhilash Thapliyal, Deepika Khanna, Smrithi Srikanth and Sahejmeen Kaur is all set to release on 11th August, 2022.
