Neeraj Pandey and Akshay Kumar had announced their next film, 'Crack' with a poster, also fixing its release date as Independence Day 2017.

However, the delay in the commencement of the shooting has led to speculations of the movie being shelved. Also there were stories about differences cropping up between Akshay & Neeraj. The director has been caught up with his next production, 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' which ironically stars Akshay only, post which he would be beginning to work on 'Crack.'

Dismissing all speculations, Akshay Kumar has taken to social media in support of Neeraj Pandey and has tweeted, "Friends, please don't believe everything you hear in the media. Film-making is an art & sometimes takes longer than expected! #CRACKWILLHAPPEN."
