The credit of establishing Akshay Kumar as one of the most bankable actors in the comedy genre goes to Priyadarshan and the veteran filmmaker on Monday revealed they are collaborating again for a film which would be a laugh riot. The director-actor duo, which has given blockbuster comedies like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and De Dana Dana, will start working on the project later next year.

"It is a comedy. I'm currently writing it and will start working on it next year around September-October", Priyadarshan told PTI here on the sidelines of International Film Festival of India (IFFI). Fortunately, Akshay has not been doing many comedies. He did this Housefull 4 and it didn't do really well, the way he wanted it to be, he added.
