Sara Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar and Dhanush have come together for Aanand L Rai's upcoming film Atrangi Re. While Sara and Dhanush are all set to kick off the film, Akshay will join the cast of Atrangi Re in mid-April.

In a conversation with Mumbai Mirror, Aanand, who is directing Atrangi Re, revealed that the film will be shot in Bihar and Madurai. He said, "It's a great mix of two Indian cultures. We start shooting in a town in Bihar and move to Madurai after that. Now you know which cultures I’m talking about."

Earlier, rumours were doing rounds that Akshay only has a cameo in the film. Refuting all such rumours, Aanand said, "It’s not a cameo, but a very special character that is important to the narrative."

Aanand's last directorial Zero bombed at the box office. The film starred Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. Shah Rukh took a break from acting after the Zero debacle.

Atrangi Re is Sara's fourth film. Earlier, she took to Instagram to share her excitement on bagging the project. She wrote, "I can’t believe my luck. My next film: ATRANGI RE Blessed to be working with @aanandlrai sir In an @arrahman musical And so thankful to have @akshaykumar sir join hands with the extremely talented and incredibly humble @dhanushkraja and myself Presented by @itsbhushankumar's @TSeries, @cypplofficial & #capeofgoodfilms And written by Himanshu Sharma Sir CANNOT WAIT TO START And cannot wait to come Again, on Valentine’s Day 14th February 2021."

Atrangi Re has 80-90 day shooting schedule. The film will release on Valentine's Day 2021.
