Akshay Kumar was recently spotted shooting for an advertisement with R.Balki. Yes, you heard it right.

All permissions we’re duly taken by the Maharashtra government. 

Apart from Bell Bottom, the actor has the following films in the pipeline — Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi, Tamil director Raghava Lawrrence’s first Hindi venture Laxmmi Bomb, Atrangi Re with Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush, Yashraj Films’ Prithviraj, to be directed by Chandra Prakash Dwivedi and Bachchan Pandey, which will be directed by Farhad Samji.

On Tuesday, it was reported that the sets of Prithviraj, due out on Diwali, were going to be destroyed ahead of the monsoon, because of the delay in filming. The sets are likely to be made indoors now to finish the rest of the shoot.
