Akshay on Friday shared a photograph of the crew.
"Meet this year's cricketing champions, team 'Kesari' from Wai. Work hard, play harder," he wrote.
The film, which also stars Parineeti Chopra, is being shot in Wai, in Maharashtra's Satara District.
Produced by filmmaker Karan Johar, the Anurag Singh directorial is based on the battle of Saragarhi.
"Kesari" is slated for 2019 Holi release.
