The trailer of the Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi-starrer Selfiee has succeeded in gaining the audience’s interest. The film, which is the remake of the Malayalam hit Driving Licence, is a comic drama about an unusual war between a Bollywood superstar and an RTO officer, played by Akshay and Emraan respectively.
Selfiee is the second time that director Raj Mehta has worked with Akshay, after the former’s directorial debut Good Newwz. The 2019 comic drama also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani in prominent roles. Following this, Mehta made another multi-starrer in the form of Jugjugg Jeeyo, which starred Varun Dhawan, Anil Kapoor, Kiara Advani and Neetu Singh.
Mehta is happy to collaborate with Akshay again for his third directorial. Speaking about his experience with the senior actor, the filmmaker said in a statement, “Akshay sir is a gem of a person to work with. It’s a dream come true for any director. I respect the dedication and discipline he brings on set. The crew loves working with him. After Good Newwz, collaborating with sir once again on Selfiee was a wonderful experience.”
Selfiee tells the story of a superstar who gets offended by one of his biggest fans and he goes onto insult him in front of his son. This fills his fan with rage and he vows to teach the star a lesson.
Produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Aruna Bhatia, Supriya Menon, Karan Johar, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Apoorva Mehta and Listin Stephen, Selfiee releases in theatres on February 24, 2023.
