Sooryavanshi: Akshay Kumar teases helicopter stunt in new still; Sikandar Kher, Gulshan Grover join cast

Gulshan Grover and Sikandar Kher have been nabbed by Rohit Shetty for his hotly-anticipated cop-flick Sooryavanshi . Grover will play chief antagonist, but Kher’s role is still being kept under wraps, reports PinkVilla.

Grover has played a villain in several Akshay Kumar films, including Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, Hera Pheri and International Khiladi. Kher was last seen in John Abraham’s espionage drama, Romeo Walter Akbar (RAW).

Akshay, who plays the lead as Anti-Terrorism Squad chief, also shared a new still from the sets of Bangkok, where they are currently shooting for the cop drama. He is seen “casually hanging” from a helicopter, with Rohit riding a bike.
