A Pakistani guy questioned how Pakistan was portrayed in the Bollywood star’s 2021 flick Bell Bottom. Akshay Kumar responded to the individual. The performer cautioned the man from taking it too seriously because it was “only a movie.”
Akshay was present at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia. The actor responded to a man who inquired about his movie Bell Bottom during an in-conversation session at the festival. The story of the movie, which was directed by Ranjit Tiwari, focused on an attempt to rescue passengers after an Indian Airlines jet was hijacked.
In his words to Akshay, “I’m from Pakistan, which is next door to you. I want something. You make excellent films like Pad Man and Toilet. There is a problem between Pakistan and India as well. Certain aspects of your most recent film, Bell Bottom, are against Pakistan.
Akshay immediately said, “It’s just a movie, sir. Don’t take things so seriously. There are numerous instances of that.
In Bell Bottom, the 1980s are depicted. Akshay played an Indian secret agent in the movie. Although the movie was highly received in India, it garnered harsh criticism abroad and was eventually outlawed in Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Huma Qureshi, Lara Dutta, and Vaani Kapoor also had lead parts in the movie. It was said that it was based on actual hijackings committed by Khalistani terrorists in the 1980s, including the taking of multiple flights operated by Indian Airlines.
Recent films by Akshay include Cuttputlli, which had its digital premiere, and Ram Setu, which was released in theatres. Ram Setu, which was directed by Abhishek Sharma, also starred Jacqueline Fernandez.
In addition to Selfiee, which stars Emraan Hashmi and Diana Penty, Akshay also has the upcoming Anand L. Rai film Gorkha.
The actor just revealed that his upcoming project will focus on sex education. Additionally, he revealed to Deadline that his science fiction action-packed Prime Video original series The End includes a lot of action.
