Akshay Kumar is all set to start shooting for his next movie titled Airlift. The makers who were in search of the female lead have finalised Nimrat Kaur of Lunch Box fame. The actress is currently part of Homeland series.

Co-produced by Akshay Kumar’s Cape Of Good Hope, the film will be directed by Raja Krishna Menon, who is known for films like Barah Aana and Bas Yun Hi.
