Almost after working for 4 months, Akshay Kumar has finally wrapped the shoots for his upcoming film Selfiee along with Emraan Hashmi. On Wednesday, the film’s director Raj Mehta took his social media to announce Akshay Kumar’s wrap. He shared a video, where the whole team of Selfiee gathers around to cut Akshay Kumar’s cake. While sharing the video, Raj wrote, “And that’s a WRAP for @akshaykumar sir on the Bhopal schedule of #SELFIEE! Thank you so much for making it so easy and so much fun despite the blistering heat!

Talking about the release of Selfiee, Dharma Productions CEO, Apoorva Mehta, was earlier quoted by PinkVilla as saying, “People have these conversations all the time and we all just listen to them. We are making the film right now and will take a call at the right time. Selfiee is a very strong subject, and we couldn’t have got a better casting than Akshay sir and Emraan Hashmi. Raj is very excited to start the film, in-fact, we go on floors at the end of February.”
He added, “At this point of time, it’s a theatrical release and we are not looking at any other medium of release.” Talking about the chatter on the social media about an overdose of remakes in the Hindi film industry, Apoorva said, “We are in very unique times with so much content being made. It’s tough to come across interesting stories and I think remakes are fine. Audience would want to enjoy some stories in their own language. Selfiee is a remake of a very successful Malayalam film produced by our co-producer Prithviraj. It’s fine, as there is a lot of new content being made too.”
Selfiee is an official remake of the Malayalam hit, Driving Licence fronted by Prithviraj with Suraj Venjarammoodu. Produced under the banners of Dharma Productions, it was also reported that Emraan Hashmi will be playing the parallel lead in this racy comic thriller.
