Lara ‘excited’ to shoot with Akshay Kumar

Actress Lara Dutta is ‘super excited’ to team up with Akshay Kumar in upcoming film Singh is Bliing, whose shooting she will begin on Saturday.

Directed by Prabhudheva, Singh is Bliing is the 36-year-old former Miss Universe’s eighth outing with Akshay after debut film Andaaz followed by Aan: Men at Work, Insan, Dosti: Friends Forever, Bhagam Bhag, Blue and Housefull.

“Super excited to start Singh is Bliing tomorrow with @akshaykumar! I’ve lost count of our movies together.

#friendphilosopherguide,” Lara tweeted.

The actress had earlier revealed that she will be donning a new avatar in the film.

“You have seen me go glamorous in Blue, desi in Billoo Barber, and now I take on a never-seen-before avatar in Singh is Bling!!,” she wrote last month. The mother of one was last seen in Bejoy Nambiar’s action-thriller David. Her upcoming films include Fitoor and No Entry Mein Entry.

Singh is Bliing has already started its shoot in Punjab with Amy Jackson and Kumar. Kriti Sanon was signed on for the female lead. After training for the role, Sanon eventually quit the role and opted out for the film, and was then replaced by Amy Jackson.
