Sooryavanshi: New still teases Akshay Kumar's bike stunt sequence on streets of Bangkok

Rohit Shetty is already taking significant strides towards building his cop universe through blockbusters like the Singham franchise and Simmba. Now, there’s a potential new one with Sooryavanshi. Featuring Akshay Kumar in the lead as the Anti-Terrorism Squad chief, Sooryavanshi marks their first collaboration in the industry. The makers shared a still from the sets of Bangkok where they are currently shooting for the cop drama. The still teases an action sequence, featuring Akshay riding a bike on the streets of Bangkok. While talking about the sequence, Akshay said Bangkok holds a special place in his heart since he has worked there for many years before he started his acting career. He said in a statement, “I always have a lot of fun doing my own stunts. Rohit is anyway a class apart when it comes to action in his films. And doing these bike stunts on the streets of Bangkok was extra special.” Check out the still here:
