Akshay Kumar was supposed to begin shooting for Anand L Rai's film 'Raksha Bandhan' in the first week of April. However, Covid-19 had some other plans and unfortunately, he was tested positive for around the same time, leading the shoot to be postponed. While the actor was on a route to recovery, yet another lockdown was decreed in the wake of Covid-19’s second wave, resulting in further delay in the shooting of the film.

Earlier today, Khiladi Kumar began shooting for the upcoming film with an announcement on his Instagram handle by sharing a picture of him while he is in conversation with the director on the movie sets. The 53-year-old actor also mentioned that he is dedicating this film to his sister Alka as he called her “my first friend”
