Akshay Kumar Thanks Ex-Army Officer For “Pointing Out” A Mistake In Gorkha Poster

 

Akshay Kumar, on Friday, introduced his new movie titled Gorkha, which relies on the lifetime of conflict hero Major General Ian Cardozo, and shared his first look poster from the movie on social media. However, the following day, an ex-Army officer replied to Akshay Kumar’s tweet and identified an error within the Gorkha poster, after which the actor promised to take “utmost care” in the course of the taking pictures for the movie in order that the authenticity is maintained. In the poster, Akshay Kumar may be seen sporting an Army uniform and holding a curved knife or a khukri. The ex-Army officer, in his tweet, wrote that the Khukri proven within the poster isn’t appropriate and connected a photograph of a conventional khukri for reference. “Dear Akshay Kumar 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 inner side of blade. Ref pic of Khukri att. Thanks,” his tweet learn.

Replying to the ex-Gorkha officer, Akshay Kumar thanked him for “pointing out” the error and wrote: “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.”
