Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar will come together after 17 years for Priyadarshan’s next, reportedly a Hindi-remake of Mohanlal’s Malayalam-thriller Oppam.

The last time Saif and Akshay shared screen-space was for 2008’s action-comedy Tashan.

In an earlier interview, Saif had confirmed that he is doing the film. "Yes, I am doing a film with Priyadarshan next. I play a blind guy," he had said. While he had kept the rest of the details under wraps, Saif had called the collaboration "very exciting".

For the unversed, Priyadarshan's own film Oppam explores the life of a retired judge, who faces difficulty in protecting his daughter from a convict he imprisoned. However, when he gets murdered, a man with visual impairment, who'd been loyal to the judge, steps in to defend his daughter.

Saif was last seen in Netflix’s Jewel Thief--The Heist Begins, alongside Jaideep Ahlawat and Kunal Kapoor. Akshay’s Kesari Chapter 2, also featuring R Madhavan and Ananya Panday, is currently running in theatres.
