The Akshay Kumar - Anees Bazmee jodi is the hottest and biggest combination today. This jodi has delivered two back-to-back hits in WELCOME and SINGH IS KINNG. The combo was planning to team up for the third time for a Studio 18 project, but trustworthy sources tell us that the project is not happening.

"Akshay has signed a UTV film. Hopefully, we should be teaming up there," Anees Bazmee informs me, "There's no bad blood with Studio 18. It's just that things didn't work out. But I am directing another film for them, which might star Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone."

Anees is expected to take this project forward once he's through with the ongoing schedule of the Nana Patekar, Harman Baweja, Genelia starrer he's making right now.
