Randeep Hooda has shared a set of pictures from Matchbox: The Movie. The actor posted them on Instagram on Tuesday, and one frame has him smiling wide next to John Cena, who leads the action comedy.

He plays Mustafa in the film, which is now streaming on Apple TV. Sam Hargrave, the director of Extraction, is behind the camera, and the post shows the two of them together during a break in filming. Other pictures show Randeep in the makeup chair and with his wife, actor Lin Laishram, and their daughter Nyomica, who came with him to the sets.

For Randeep, the shoot was also a reunion. In his caption he called Matchbox "a great excuse to catch up and hang out with my friends from the Extraction team". He signed off with a nod to his director: "play it again, Sam".

The film is based on Mattel's Matchbox toy cars. Cena plays Sean, a CIA agent who keeps his work secret from his old friends. When a nuclear warhead goes missing, those friends are pulled into a mission that takes them around the world.

Jessica Biel, Arturo Castro, Sam Richardson, Teyonah Parris, Danai Gurira, Golshifteh Farahani, Corey Stoll and Bill Camp complete the cast.
