Director Aanand L Rai wrote, “It’s a wrap. Special film special bond @akshaykumar !!!! A journey well shared is a journey well enjoyed. #RakshaBandhan (sic)” In Raksha Bandhan, Akshay is featured alongside Bhumi Pednekar, while actors Sahejmeen Kaur, Deepika Khanna, Sadia Khateeb and Smrithi Srikanth play his sisters.
