Legendary Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, known for his impressive stunt work and larger-than-life persona, recently found himself in the real-life role of a savior. A dramatic rescue during the shoot of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ has not only highlighted Kumar’s quick thinking and bravery but also set social media abuzz with praise from his legion of fans.
The incident unfolded while the cast and crew were in the midst of filming an episode of the popular comedy show. Actor-comedian Ali Asgar, reprising his famous ‘Dadi’ character, was performing a complex act suspended mid-air with the assistance of cable ties. He was not alone in this daring endeavor; another man was also part of the stunt. Unfortunately, the situation quickly escalated when this unnamed individual lost consciousness, unable to handle the prolonged suspension.
As the man hung lifelessly from the cables, it became apparent that immediate action was needed to prevent a potential tragedy. Ali Asgar attempted to assist by pulling the man closer, but the restraints hindered his efforts. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Akshay Kumar sprang into action without a moment’s hesitation. With the agility and confidence that fans know him for, Akshay scaled the setup to reach the unconscious man. In a sequence of events that could easily belong to one of his blockbuster films, he managed to grab and secure the individual, guiding him safely to the ground.
The entire incident was captured on video, and it didn’t take long before it went viral on various social media platforms. Viewers across the internet lauded Akshay Kumar for his heroic intervention. Messages of admiration and respect poured in from all quarters. One user aptly summed up the general sentiment, “Khiladi Bhaiyya! Agree that other actors wouldn’t have stepped back from helping as well, but I feel no one would have gone that extra mile as Akki.” Another echoed this sentiment, stating, “This is called Presence of Mind. Well done Akki!”
In addition to his daring off-screen heroics, Akshay Kumar is also captivating audiences with his latest film, ‘Sarfira’.
. This Hindi remake of the acclaimed movie ‘Soorarai Pottru’ is directed by Sudha Kongara, who also directed the original. ‘Sarfira’ tells a uniquely Indian tale of perseverance, resilience, and the spirit of innovation, capturing the journey of an underdog challenging the deeply entrenched societal norms of class, caste, and power dynamics. Set against the backdrop of startups and the aviation industry, the film serves as an inspiration to the common man to dream big and relentlessly pursue those dreams, even if labeled insane by society.
‘Sarfira’, scripted by Sudha Kongara and Shalini Ushadevi with dialogues penned by Pooja Tolani, features a musical score by G.V. Prakash Kumar. The film, produced by Aruna Bhatia’s Cape of Good Films, along with South Indian cinema stalwarts Suriya and Jyotika’s 2D Entertainment and Vikram Malhotra, hit theaters on July 12, 2024. The cast also includes seasoned actors Paresh Rawal and Seema Biswas in crucial roles.
On the professional front, Akshay Kumar’s schedule remains as packed as ever. He is poised to appear in ‘Singham Again,’ the next installment in Rohit Shetty’s acclaimed cop universe. This high-octane film will also feature industry heavyweights Ajay Devgn, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, and Ranveer Singh. Furthermore, fans of the actor-comedian will be thrilled to know that he will be returning in the fifth installment of his popular comedy franchise ‘Housefull’. Other projects in the pipeline include ‘Khel Khel Mein,’ ‘Welcome to the Jungle,’ and his much-anticipated Telugu debut in the Vishnu Manchu-starrer ‘Kannappa,’ where he will share the screen with Prabhas and Mohanlal.
