Before Jolly LLB 3, one of the most-awaited courtroom dramas, a new movie starring Akshay Kumar has been announced, which will be based on one of India’s most legendary barristers.
Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions took the announcement to Instagram and wrote, “एक अनकही कहानी, एक अनसुना सच, Starring Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan & Ananya Panday – this untitled film is releasing in cinemas on 14th March, 2025. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi.”
Dharma Productions uploaded the tentative poster, which mentioned, “THE UNTITLED FILM ON the shocking cover-up of a massacre that pushed India’s top barrister C. SANKARAN NAIR to fight an unprecedented battle against the British Empire. The film is inspired from real life events & adapted from the book ‘The Case That Shook The Empire’ written by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat.”
The title of this upcoming film has not been revealed yet but, according to Akshay Kumar’s Wikipedia page, this movie will be titled Shankara.
Fans are excited about the project, but are skeptical about Ananya Panday’s involvement in the movie.
On Twitter, one user commented, “The cast of the movie is good but Ananya Pandey’s presence in the movie can backfire,” while another user said, “Akshay Kumar and R madhavan are enough reasons to watch this film.” One more user reacted saying, “Ananya in this kind of film, wo bhi Akshay ke opposite? Casting directors nowadays are a waste,” and another user wrote, “Karan Johar and Ananya Panday, a never ending love story.”
