The film was apparently first named Land of Lungi (LOL) since Akshay will be seen playing a lungi-clad hero in the backdrop of a village who will fight with plenty of goons for the sake of his ladylove. While the makers havent revealed this yet, a source earlier informed us that Bachchan Pandey is a Hindi remake of Tamil flick Veeram.We also learned that Akshay will be seen speaking Tamil, as well as performing some intense hand-to-hand combat scenes. Bachchan Pandey is slated to release on 25th December, 2020.
