Akshay Kumar opens up about wearing a saree in Laxmmi Bomb

Akshay Kumar will be seen in Raghava Lawrence’s Laxmmi Bomb which is a remake of the filmmaker’s Tamil film Muni 2: Kanchana. The story of the horror-comedy revolves around a man who gets possessed by the spirit of transgender.

A few months ago, Akshay had shared a still of the film in which he was seen wearing a saree. Recently, while talking to a tabloid, the actor stated that he is comfortable in a saree. Akki said, "I am comfortable in a saree and had no problem shooting in it. I love doing tricky stuff. It is one of the most difficult characters I have played. I had to internalise the character and get the body language right."


Well, Laxmmi Bomb was in the news as Lawrence had stepped down as the director of the film in the middle of the shoot as he had creative differences with the producers. While talking about it, Akshay said. "I have no idea what happened. Shabina (Khan, producer) and Raghava spoke and sorted out. Raghava is one of the finest directors when it comes to making a horror film. I respect him as a filmmaker. We started shooting (after the episode), and since then, nobody has even mentioned the incident. It's all good among us."

Laxmmi Bomb also stars Kiara Advani in the lead role. The film is slated to hit the screens on Eid 2020. It will be clashing with Salman Khan starrer Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. Earlier, Akshay's Sooryavanshi was slated to release on Eid 2020, but it was preponed to 27th March 2020.

Why the UK government is moving to fully nationalise British Steel after years of crisis

  • The UK government is expected to announce full British Steel nationalisation in the king’s speech.
  • British Steel’s Scunthorpe plant operates the country’s last remaining blast furnaces.
  • Rising losses, Chinese ownership tensions and fears over industrial security pushed the government towards intervention.

For decades, the giant blast furnaces towering over Scunthorpe stood as symbols of Britain’s industrial strength. Now, they are becoming symbols of something else entirely — the struggle to keep the country’s steel industry alive in a rapidly changing global economy.

The UK government is expected to formally move towards full nationalisation of British Steel in the upcoming king’s speech, marking another dramatic turn in the long and turbulent history of one of Britain’s most politically sensitive industrial businesses.
