The film will also see a reunion of Akshay and Tabu after 25 years. The two were last seen together in Hera Pheri.

The actress was last seen in the web series Dune: Prophecy, which also starred actor Mark Strong.

The series, set 10,000 years before the events of the Dune films, explores the origins of the Bene Gesserit, blending politics, power, and prophecy. Tabu played Sister Francesca, a powerful Bene Gesserit and former lover of Emperor Javicco Corrino, portrayed by Mark Strong. The series also explored the past of her character, with Charithra Chandran playing a younger Francesca. Her role in the web series as Sister Francesca received a lot of praise from fans and critics alike. (ANI)
