After Special 26 that garnered much critical acclaim and commercial success film in 2013, the duo has teamed up again for their next film -BABY.
The mutual respect and friendship that developed during the making of Special 26, led to Akshay becoming Neeraj’s first choice even when he was scripting Baby. The result was one action-packed ride while making the film. The shooting of the film spanned far and wide, from Kathmandu and Istanbul to Abu Dhabi, Mumbai and Delhi.
The first look poster with its action heavy imagery and unusual totle, set the tone of the movie and generated curiosity value. The Teaser which released in November has already made Baby count amongst the most-talked about films on social media platforms. The teaser, aptly titled ‘Baby Sizzle’ went viral in just a few minutes from launch. Seeing the excitement for the launch of the first look by fans, Akshay Kumar himself tweeted the teaser of the movie. The action-packed teaser takes the viewer behind the scenes and gets the viewer close to the pace and adrenaline of the film.
Here’s what we can look forward to in Baby:
The Action Sequences: When there is Akshay Kumar it’s surely understood that there would be tons of real, raw action to watch out. Akshay has certainly pushed his limits with this movie, along with Rana Daggubati and done some real stunts under the supervision and guidance of international action directors.
The Ensemble Cast: Neeraj Pandey surely knows which character befits which actor. Like his previous films, BABY too required a powerful cast to suit the fast paced, action thriller. The films boasts of some powerful names like Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher, Rana Daggubati, Danny Denzongpa, Kay Kay Menon, Sushant Singh and Taapsee Pannu. Each character, vividly sketched to take this high octane thriller into a gripping zone, brings to the table a dynamic ensemble of power performances.
Real Drama: When we say it’s a Neeraj Pandey film, we automatically know the amount of meticulous research and hard work that goes into the script and the making. Known to take risks and delve into subjects that are true in nature, Neeraj Pandey has carved a niche for himself to be a director with strong vision and unconventional ideas.
A conventional entertainer - Baby is a story of those unsung heroes who gueard our walls when we sleep peacefully in out homes. Steeped in current events, Baby will reach out to audiences of all ages and segments and entertain in a thrilling manner.
Producer Bhushan Kumar who is elated to back this genre of film, says, "The day I heard the narration, I knew I was sure to come on board as the producer. The combination of Neeraj and Akshay is a bonus to the script and the talented ensemble cast. The fast paced action sequences and twists and thrills will keep the audience on the edge of their seats."
BABY, being labeled as a film set to redefine the action-thriller genre in India, is set against the backdrop of international terrorism and has been conceived as a no-nonsense entertainer where Akshay plays a top counter intelligence agent.
