Raveena Tandon and Akshay Kumar reunite on film after 20 years in Welcome to the Jungle. He claims that they have accomplished “maximum hits” together.

In a recent interview, Akshay Kumar discussed his upcoming reunion with Raveena Tandon. Akshay told the news agency ANI that he is excited to work with Will Smith again on the next film, Welcome to the Jungle.

Akshay informed the media outlet, “We’re doing a film called ‘Welcome to the Jungle,’ and we’ll be starting production on it very shortly. That tune, along with Tip Tip Barsa Paani, is fantastic. We’ve worked together on a number of blockbuster films, and I can’t wait to go back in front of the camera for Welcome to the Jungle.

Akshay and Raveena chemistry

Akshay and Raveena’s on-screen chemistry has paid off in several blockbuster flicks. Akshay and Raveena, a former on-screen couple, may also be heard singing the hit songs “Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast” and “Tip Tip Barsa Paani” together. They last appeared together in the 2004 film Police Force: An Inside Story.

The couple began dating in 1995 and were engaged in the late 1990s. They ended their relationship at a later time for unknown reasons. In 2001, Akshay started dating and eventually wed Twinkle Khanna, while Raveena married Anil Thadani, a businessman, in 2004.

When asked by ANI earlier this year about the failed engagement, Raveena said, “We were a hit duo during Mohra, and even today, when we bump into each other socially, all meet, all converse. As time passes, everyone changes. Even though college women are switching lovers weekly, a recent failed engagement has stayed in my mind for some reason. People get divorced, they get up and go on, so what’s the big deal?”

The newest Akshay flicks

Apart from Welcome to the Jungle, Akshay has an intriguing slate of flicks, including the presently playing Mission Raniganj. The second installment in Rohit Shetty’s successful franchise will see him returning to the role of a top police officer. The movie is called Singham Again, and he has a cameo as Sooryavanshi. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Deepika Padukone, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, with Ranveer Singh making a cameo as Simmba.

The Hindi adaptation of the Tamil film Soorarai Pottru is also in the works for him. The release date for the film is slated for February 2024. He’ll also co-star alongside Tiger Shroff in the upcoming movie Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. In addition, production has begun on the second installment of his successful comedy series, Housefull. Recently, Akshay revealed he will be making a movie on India’s bombing of Pakistan. Sky Force is Sandeep Kelwani and Abhishek Kapur’s directorial debut.
