Akshay Kumar is gearing up for his next big release, ‘Kesari 2’. Recently, while promoting this film, he was asked about Salman Khan’s latest movie ‘Sikandar’ not doing well at the box office.
Akshay responded, “It’s wrong to say that. It’s just not possible. Tiger is alive and will always be.” He added, “Salman is a tiger breed that never dies. He’s my friend, and he’ll always be there.”
Fans React
Fans are going wild over Akshay’s response on social media. One fan said, “Akshay Kumar won our hearts.” Another fan commented, “Brotherhood is on top.” A fan praised Akshay, saying, “You’re right, Akki sir. We’re proud of you.” One user countered with a clever remark, “Breeds are for dogs, not lions.”
The camaraderie between Salman and Akshay isn’t new. They’ve worked together in films like ‘Jaan-E-Mann’ and ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’. Salman has had a string of successful films, with ‘Sikandar’ being his 18th film to cross ₹100 crore at the box office. ‘Sikandar’ raked in ₹100 crore in India and ₹200 crore worldwide.
