Akshay will step into OTT with what has been marked as his territory in the Hindi cinema - the action genre. In other words, the series will be an action thriller. Vikram Malhotra’s Abundantia Entertainment has bankrolled the project.

Speaking to Variety about the series back in 2019 when the show was announced at an event by Amazon's India service, Akshay had said that he was taken back to his student days. He added that the series will be high on ‘real-life, hair-raising action.’ The actor had ushered in the announcement with a scary stunt.

Khiladi Kumar had also added that the series will be released in three parts, across the time span of three years. Each season would have about six episodes.

On the work front, Akshay Kumar has many projects in the pipeline. There is Ranjit M Tewari’s Cinderella, for which he is currently shooting in London. Media reports state that he will finish the shooting for OMG: Oh My God! 2 in about 15 days and Ram Setu by the end of the year.

The National-Award winning actor also has Bachchan Pandey, Raksha Bandhan and Atrangi Re lined up. He is likely to commence shooting for the Aanand L Rai directorial with Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush soon, now that the COVID-19 situation has improved slightly.

More details on The End are awaited.
