Akshay Oberoi is making a comeback to the big screen with the upcoming film Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, a family comedy produced by Dharma Productions. The movie, directed by Shashank Khaitan, features a star-studded cast including Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor. It is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 2nd, 2025.

Oberoi believes that Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is more than just another ensemble entertainer; it represents the revival of a specific type of Indian storytelling that resonates across generations. He notes a common misconception that family audiences have stopped going to the movies. However, he argues that "the truth is, they were simply waiting for the right kind of stories". He feels that audiences are looking for "clean, heartwarming, funny, emotional" content, which he considers "peak Indian cinema". Oberoi is excited that Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari captures that essence beautifully.

The film is set against the backdrop of everyday Indian life, promising to blend humor, romance, and heartfelt moments, appealing to both family audiences and younger viewers. Oberoi notes that recent successes like Metro In Dino and Sitaare Zameen Par demonstrate a growing preference for intergenerational, relatable stories. He credits the filmmakers, who "believed in this shift in telling stories about love, family, relationships, and joy". Oberoi sees this as progress, emphasizing that while the audience is evolving, "they haven't lost their appetite for Indian emotion".

Oberoi also expresses that playing a "warm, charming, and family-oriented character" in this film is a refreshing change from the intense, layered roles he has taken on in the past. He anticipates the audience's reaction to this new side of him. He also enjoyed working with such an incredible cast. The energy on set was electric, and collaborating with Varun, Janhvi, Sanya, and Rohit was an absolute joy. He feels that having Karan Johar as producer and Shashank Khaitan as director ensures that the film is filled with heart, laughter, and entertainment.

Reflecting on his experience on set, Oberoi shares that the energy mirrored the film's tone – joyous, playful, and full of heart. He describes it as "a clean film," the kind you can watch with your parents and laugh your heart out. Oberoi is excited to be part of a movement that brings warmth, togetherness, and the magic of Indian family storytelling back to the big screen with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, proving that heartfelt cinema still has a strong place in the hearts of audiences nationwide.
