Bachchan Pandey marks Akshay's 10h collaboration with Nadiadwala. Apart from the lead pair, the film will also have a strong supporting cast, which will be finalised by the end of this year.
The film is supposed to hit screens on Christmas 2020, clashing with Aamir Khan's Lal Singh Chadha, and Ranbir Kapoor-Ajay Devgn's untitled movie with Luv Ranjan. Akshay had earlier referred to the clash, and given his statement on the same.
Speaking about the clash to Mumbai Mirror, the actor had said, "We have 52 Fridays in a year, and even fewer holiday weekends. We make over 200 Hindi films a year while Hollywood releases 40 more. Then there’s the South industry and other regional cinema. So, we should be happy if we have two big releases in a week. This year, on the Independence Day weekend we had three, Mission Mangal, Batla House, and Saaho, till one (Saaho) bowed out."
