Akshay Kumar is a star yet he is known to be down-to-earth and humble. He has always proven to be open to criticism and love. In recent times, Akshay Kumar Aanand L Rai’s Colour Yellow Productions and Cape of Good Films joined hands to come together for a unique project.
This time, they will be working on a biopic – Gorkha which is based on the life of Major General Ian Cardozo, a legendary officer of the Gorkha regiment of the Indian Army (5th Gorkha Rifles). The film is being produced by national award winner Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan. The movie was gaining a lot of attention and soon after, the first poster of the film was released. This poster had a small error and one Army officer was kind enough to point it out. After the two posters were released, an ex-Army officer, Manik M Jolly, pointed out an error in the poster. He wrote, “Dear @akshaykumar ji, as an ex Gorkha officer, my thanks to you for making this movie. However, details matter. Kindly get the Khukri right. The sharp edge is on the other side. It is not a sword. Khukri strikes from the inner side of the blade. Ref pic of Khukri att. Thanks.”
In response to this, Akshay wrote back, “Dear Maj Jolly, thank you so much for pointing this out. We’ll take utmost care while filming. I’m very proud and honoured to be making Gorkha. Any suggestions to get it closest to reality would be most appreciated.”
