Reports suggest that Akshay Kumar will reprise one of his popular characters in Priyadarshan's upcoming film. Let’s delve into the details in this article.

**Akshay to Reprise an Old Character**
In the 2004 film *Mujhse Shaadi Karogi*, Akshay Kumar delighted audiences with his portrayal of the lively and mischievous character 'Sunny'. Recent reports indicate that he is set to collaborate with filmmaker Priyadarshan for the ninth time.

Notably, this new film will have a connection to *Mujhse Shaadi Karogi*. According to industry reports, the film is titled *Wicked Sunny*—named after the protagonist. This means Akshay will once again step into the shoes of the character 'Sunny'.

Filming is scheduled to begin in December. Previously, Akshay and Priyadarshan were slated to work on *Hera Pheri 3* together; however, Priyadarshan is no longer part of that project.

Meanwhile, a notice issued by Akshay’s production company, Cape of Good Films, to various industry bodies has surfaced. The company asserts that it holds all rights related to *Hera Pheri 3*, including its production, marketing, and release.
