Akshay Kumar on wearing a saree in Laxmmi Bomb: It's quite graceful

Akshay Kumar starrer Laxmmi Bomb will be releasing on Disney+ Hotstar. Today, during a live Instagram chat, the actor announced the film’s release and spoke about wearing a saree in the movie.

During the live chat, when Varun Dhawan asked Akshay about how was his experience of wearing a saree in the film, the actor said, "In one word, I'd say it's quite graceful and also, the most comfortable outfit in the world. Saree pehna apne aap mein experience tha. Initially, I couldn't walk and kaafi baar while shooting, saree khul bhi jaati thi. Thankfully, my dress dada was always ready for my rescue. But I think one should experience this. Hats off to the Indian women who wear it so beautifully.”


Further talking about the role, Akshay revealed that it is one of the toughest characters, he has played. He said, "Mere 30 saal ke career mein, mentally sabse tough character raha hai yeh. I give the credit to my director. Maine willingly kaafi takes and retakes liye hai to justify the character. The film has also made me aware to be kind towards the transgender community.”

Laxmmi Bomb is a remake of Tamil film Muni 2: Kanchana. It is directed by Raghava Lawrence who had also directed the original movie. Laxmmi Bomb also stars Kiara Advani in the lead role.

The movie was earlier slated to hit the screens on Eid this year, but due to the lockdown, the release date was pushed. However, now fans of Akshay will get to enjoy the movie on the OTT platform, Disney+ Hotstar.
