Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has started shooting for Prabhudheva's upcoming directorial venture "Singh Is Bliing" in Patiala.

The sequel to the 2008 blockbuster "Singh Is Kinng", will once again have Akshay donning a turban. He will have actresses Lara Dutta and Amy Jackson sharing screen space with him.

"In Patiala, started the day with Waheguru's blessings at the Gurudwara and now it's time for day 1 of #SinghIsBliing!," Akshay, 47, posted on Twitter.


The action-thriller, which is expected to release on October 2, will mark Prabhudheva and Akshay's second outing after "Rowdy Rathore".

Meanwhile, Akshay will next be seen in "Gabbar is Back". Directed by Krish, the action drama, which also stars Shruti Haasan, is set to hit theatres on May 1.
