Akshay Kumar is overwhelmed with the response to his latest film Airlift, which revolves around the evacuation of Indians from Kuwait during the 1990 Iraq-Kuwait war. The actor said that such type of films come “almost once in an actor’s lifetime”.
Akshay has been busy on Wednesday, thanking his well-wishers on Twitter. He wrote: “My Twitter feed has been flooded with #Airlift, so much positivity and love…I couldn’t have asked for more and for sure wasn’t expecting this much hence feeling very overwhelmed.”
Akshay added: “While most of you have written I should do more films like Airlift…I wish I could but honestly films like these come very rarely, almost once in an actor’s lifetime and I am extremely fortunate to be a part of it. Thank you all for everything. Love and prayers always.”
Directed by Raja Krishna Menon, Airlift, which also stars The Lunchbox actress Nimrat Kaur, tells how the Indian government evacuated 1,70,000 people of Indian origin and also of other nationalities through 488 flights during the Iraq-Kuwait war.
