Is Akshay Kumar’s Bachchan Pandey Deliberately Avoiding A Clash With Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha?

 Akshay Kumar has always been the one to take box-office risks and has come out massively successful in most cases. In fact, next year he is all set challenge none other than Salman Khan that too Eid has his Laxmmi Bomb would clash with Salman’s Radhe: The Most Wanted Bhai. But taking on one Khan wasn’t not enough and Akshay was also set to Aamir Khan at the box-office as Bachchan Pandey and Laal Singh Chaddha were going to lock horns on Christmas 2020.

However, looks like Akshay Kumar and the makers are Bachchan Pandey are taking a step back from attempting this dare. A source close to the development said, “The scripting of Bachchan Pandey is underway and it will be a while before the final draft is ready. The pre-production too will be a time-consuming affair. So, Akshay and the producers are contemplating postponing the shoot, and by extension, the release. It works out to the advantage of the makers — the team will have enough time to fine-tune the script. Also, the film will avoid locking horns with Aamir Khan's passion project, Laal Singh Chaddha. As of now, Akshay is busy juggling the shoot of Laxmmi Bomb and Sooryavanshi. Next on the cards is Yash Raj Films' Prithviraj, which is a Diwali 2020 affair, and then he will most likely dive into the shoot of Bell Bottom. If all goes well, Bachchan Pandey will go on floors post that. It is unlikely that the two Akshay-starrers will come within a month of each other.”

While it will sadden the Akshay fans, it is surely a good news for Aamir’s film which will now enjoy a solo run at the box-office during the coveted slot of Christmas.
