Couple days ago it was revealed that Akshay Kumar will reunite with 'Bell Bottom' director Ranjit Tiwari. Now the latest buzz suggests that makers have found the leading lady for the film as well. Actress Rakul Preet Singh might be seen romancing Akshay in this yet untitled project.

A source close to the production shared, Jackky had taken three scripts to Akshay and he liked two of them. One was a Mudassar Aziz film which Rajkummar Rao might do now. The other was a film that Bell Bottom director Ranjit Tiwari is putting together. Akshay and Ranjit have worked together on Bell Bottom and when he heard the script, he loved it and immediately decided to do it. It's another inspiring tale and is expected to kickstart sometime this year. The film will have a short schedule and will be wrapped in around 35-40 days.

About the leading lady, the source shared, Although Shraddha Kapoor and Kiara Advani were also in talks, Rakul bagged the part. They feel the chemistry she has with Ajay Devgn doesn't look awkward on screen despite the age difference and she would be a complete fit for this role as well. Apparently, the team is now working on the schedule and modalities before locking everything.
