Akshay Kumar wrapped the Mumbai schedule of his forthcoming film Raksha Bandhan with a chunk of memories that he also shared with his fans on social media. He shared a picture with the film's director Aanand L Rai and wrote: "And Aanand L Rai Sir... What can I say about you, besides that you're a wizard and today as we wrap up the Mumbai schedule of Raksha Bandhan, I know I'm leaving the set a better actor." Akshay Kumar wrote: "I'm already missing walking down these streets of Chandni Chowk. Even though it was a make-believe set... You made it look so real, take a bow Sumit Basu." For his co-star Bhumi Pednekar, he added, "My wonderful co-star Bhumi Pednekar, thank you for providing the right balance with your splendid talent.

Earlier this year, Bhumi Pednekar joined the cast of Raksha Bandhan. Raksha Bandhan will mark Akshay Kumar's third collaboration with Bhumi Pednekar after Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Durgamati (backed by Akshay Kumar). Bhumi announced her association with the project by sharing a picture on Instagram and she wrote: "A very special film and a very special reunion. Am supremely excited to be collaborating again with two of my favourite creative powerhouses and humans. Am full of gratitude to be a part of this special, heart-touching story Raksha Bandhan."
The film, which will be directed by Aanand L Rai and will be written by Himanshu Sharma, was announced on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan last year. This will be Akshay Kumar's second project with Aanand L Rai after Atrangi Re, which stars Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush.
