The shooting for the upcoming sequel of the 2015 film "Baby" titled "Naam Shabana" has begun, shared actor Akshay Kumar.

Akshay, who will reportedly make a special appearance in the film, took to Twitter to share a photograph of the film's clapboard. It is being helmed by filmmaker Shivam Nair and will be produced by Shital Bhatia.

"A unique attempt, for the very first time in Indian cinema. Get ready to be surprised, 'Naam Shabana' coming your way next year," the "Khiladi" star captioned the image.

The film will have actress Taapsee Pannu in the lead role.

"I am starting the next part of baby called 'Naam Shabana', where I play the title role," Taapsee told IANS over phone from Hyderabad.

"Baby", directed by Neeraj Pandey, revolved around an elite team of the Indian intelligence system perpetually strives to detect and eliminate terrorists and their plots.
