Akshay Kumar and Neeraj Pandey's next 'Baby' won't have any songs in the film, as the filmmaker feels songs might distract the audience from its theme.

Neeraj said, "A film is about narrating an engaging and entertaining story to the audience. Some stories demand song and dance, while others work wonderfully without them. The essence and style of this film lend themselves to minimal distraction for songs."

T-series head honcho Bhushan Kumar, who has co-produced the film, understood the director's vision and gave a nod to it.

"It's always good to try out different things. We have done romantic films that were high on music recall. However, when I heard this script, which had action from start to end, there was no need for songs. The day I heard the narration, I knew I had to come on board."
