Akshay Kumar is known for his quirky personality, and he’s just taken it to a whole new level. The Bollywood star recently donned a killer mask and grabbed a mic to get reactions from people who’d just watched his film, Housefull 5.
He hit up a theater in Mumbai’s Bandra neighborhood, where he mingled with the crowd and asked people what they thought of the movie. What’s interesting is that many of them didn’t even recognize him, even when they compared his disguise to the killer in the film.
The actor shared a video of his undercover adventure on social media, captioning it as a “fun experience” that ended with him making a quick exit to avoid being caught. The video quickly went viral, with fans praising his unique promotional strategy.
People who’d ignored him during the experiment are probably kicking themselves now, while others claimed they would’ve recognized him from a distance. The video has been viewed by millions, with many calling it the most innovative promotional stunt in Bollywood.
Housefull 5 is already doing well at the box office, and Akshay’s stunt is likely to boost its popularity even further. The film is expected to make a big impact over the weekend, and the actor’s decision to connect with fans in such a unique way is being hailed as a masterstroke.
