The two of them had earlier acted together in the 2017 film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. WHile this is Bhumi Pednekar’s third movie with Akshay Kumar, Raksha Bandhan marks the second collaboration of the actress and Aanand L Rai. The two of them had earlier worked together for Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, for which Aanand was one of the producers.
Akshay Kumar made the announcement about his upcoming film on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan last year on Twitter. He had shared the first look poster of the movie featuring him and four other girls, who are expected to play the role of his sisters in the film.
Akshay also dedicated the movie to his sister Alka Bhatia.
