It was just weeks ago that Akshay Kumar was a guest on Sony TV’s The Kapil Sharma Show but the Khiladi Kumar is back on the comedian’s show, this time to promote his upcoming film Atrangi Re. Akshay was accompanied by the film’s director Aanand L Rai and actor Sara Ali Khan. Cracking a joke on Akshay’s many appearances on the show, Kapil said, “Pehle mujhe lagta tha humare show mein Paaji ki films aati hain, ab mujhe lagta hai inki films mein beech beech mein humara show aata hai. (Earlier I felt that his films come on our show, now I think our show appears in his films.)”
Akshay, who appears to be playing in magician in Atrangi Re, also put up a magic show on the stage.
In another segment of the show, Kiku Sharda’s character made some witty references to the recently held Vicky Kaushal-Katrina Kaif wedding. “Maine aisi shaadi life mein nahi dekhi. Kyunki unhone mujhe dekhne hi nahi di (I never saw such a wedding in my life. Because they did not let me see it),” he said. He added that the wedding went off ‘Kaushal-mangal’. At this, Akshay said, “Vahan Kit Kat bhi khaya hoga,” a quip on their celebrity nickname VicKat.
Atrangi Re is scheduled to release on December 24 on Disney+ Hotstar. The film releases weeks after Akshay’s big success with Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi, which has been credited with bringing the audience back to the theatres after a lull of almost two years due to the pandemic.
