Kareena and Akshay play a couple trying to get pregnant in Good News. Diljit and Kiara have been shooting for the film since November and Akshay and Kareena joined work late in January. The shoot for the movie has been completed.

This will be the second time that Diljit is working with Kareena, after Udta Punjab. Akshay and Kareena are reuniting on the big screen after four years. They last co-starred in Gabbar is Back; they had also featured together in films like Ajnabee, Kambakkht Ishq, Tashan, Aitraaz and Bewafaa.

In a recent joint interview with Kareena, Akshay said, “Whenever we meet — whether it’s on a film set or an awards night — our equation has remained the same. We are extremely fond of each other. Bebo and Lolo tease me about the amount of money I’m making and I tease them about having a flat in every building in Bandra. That’s our fun banter.”

Meanwhile, Kareena calls Akshay the most disciplined actor and said, “Working with him is always fun. The best part is that he doesn’t waste time, so, we go on set, wrap up and I can head home to be with my son, Taimur.”
