EXCLUSIVE: Crack will be made only with Akshay Kumar, says Neeraj Pandey

In 2016, Neeraj Pandey and Akshay Kumar announced their collaboration on a psychological thriller, Crack. The news made headlines across the country as it marked the reunion of the actor-director duo after memorable films like Baby and Special 26. Soon after, the film took a backseat. In the past, Pandey had reported script issues in Crack and since then the film died a natural death.

Akshay and I will work together at the right time, says Neeraj Pandey

Over the years, there has been a constant demand from fans about a probable reunion of duo Akshay Kumar and Neeraj Pandey. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Neeraj Pandey informed that she would love to reunite with Akshay if she got the right script. “There is nothing at the moment, but why not? If there is anything and when the right time comes, we will work together,” Neeraj said.

When asked if he hopes to revisit Crack in the near future with a new actor, Pandey was quick to respond. “If Crack is made, it will be only with Akshay and no one else,” she made things clear. Currently, Neeraj is mastering the matter by balancing the theatrical and digital medium with content like Special Ops, Khakhee and Freelancer doing well on the digital medium.

We are planning to make Freelancer 2, says Neeraj Pandey

The filmmaker is clear about juggling between both mediums. “These are exciting times that allow you to explore stories in different formats. It is a big blessing and with the advent of OTT, you can explore different stories at the same time. I will make content for digital and theatrical,” informs Neeraj.

While Special Ops 2 is in the post-production stage, do you plan to do more parts of Special Ops 3 and Freelancer 2? “If the public encourages us to do another one, why not? As for Freelancer, we are also thinking about something to move it forward,” he concludes.
