After a long time, Akshay Kumar is all set to entertain the audiences in the comedy genre with his upcoming film, Khel Khel Mein. Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film also stars Taapsee Pannu, Pragya Jaiswal, Aditya Seal, Fardeen Khan, and Ammy Virk in the key roles. While the actors are busy promoting their film, in a recent conversation with us, Fardeen seems to have dropped a major hint about Khel Khel Mein 2.

Recently, the entire star cast of Khel Khel Mein sat for an exclusive chit-chat with Pinkvilla. During the conversation, the team was asked their views on franchise films becoming more audience-friendly as they carry a relatability factor with its characters. In response to this, Akshay Kumar stated that it all depends upon the audience’s mood.

He explained his point by highlighting people’s displeasure over remakes of the songs these days. He stated that one would bring a new song and then after that people would have the same approach towards the franchises also (bring something new). “So you never know time se pehle,” he said.

Adding to his point, Fardeen Khan added, “It’s about managing the expectations of our audience. They already like something, and you’re trying to give them more of something they’ve already liked, and that just helps in terms of getting your film out there and getting people to come and see it.”
