Akshay Kumar’s sci-fi thriller ‘Samuk’ wraps UK schedule, final 20 days of filming in Mumbai

Mumbai, Oct 12 (UNI) The makers of Akshay Kumar-starrer "Samuk" have wrapped up filming in the UK and are preparing for a final 20-day shooting schedule in Mumbai.
Directed by Kanishk Varma, the film is being produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah under his production house Sunshine Pictures.
The film team has been shooting in the UK since the end of August. It is being said that about 80 per cent of the film has been completed. Now the remaining portions will be shot in the last schedule to be held in Mumbai. This ambitious project has been in the works for more than two years.
Kumar plays the lead role, with Rukmini Maitra, Vineet Kumar Singh, Rajat Kapoor, Swanand Kirkire, Banita Sandhu and Sushant Singh also part of the cast. However, the producers have not yet shared details regarding the film's story and cast.
"Samuk" will feature elements of science fiction, adventure, action, and survival. The film's main alien character was created by Oscar-nominated creature effects designer Alec Gillis, known for his work on acclaimed films like "Alien" and "Predator."
The film's high-octane action sequences, along with creature effects, will also be a highlight for audiences.
This film reunites Kumar and Shah after nearly 13 years. Ashish A. "Samuk" is scheduled for a nationwide theatrical release in 2027.
