Raksha Bandhan trailer: Akshay Kumar plays the dutiful brother trying to marry off his sisters

The trailer of Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer Raksha Bandhan was shared on Tuesday. The family drama, directed by Aanand L Rai, is written by screenwriter-couple Himanshu Sharma and Kanika Dhillon.

The trailer shows Akshay Kumar as a dutiful brother who has the responsibility of marrying off his four sisters. In the process, he is delaying his own marriage with his childhoood sweetheart Bhumi. Akshay works as a confectioner in a small town and how he arranges funds and finds grooms for his sisters forms the centre of the film. The trailer is laced with Aanand L Rai’s signature comedy.

Akshay’s sisters in the film are played by Sahejmeen Kaur, Deepika Khanna, Sadia Khateeb and Smrithi Shrikanth. Raksha Bandhan is produced by Zee Studios, Colour Yellow Productions and Cape of Good Films. The film will be released on August 11 and will clash with Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha at the box office.
