Akshay Kumar reportedly plays the role of Asif while his leading lady Kiara Advani is playing the character of a girl named Priya. This has caught the attention of some users, who have slammed the actors and producers on social media. Another section of users have expressed their displeasure over the film's title as they believe it insults Hindi Goddess Laxmi.

Amid the hullabaloo, the 'Rustom' actor's fans trended the hashtag #AkshayThePrideOfIndia in response to the recent negative trend against Khiladi Kumar.

"Natural Disasters- @akshaykumar is there for you. Support Martyrs: #AkshayKumar is there for you. Support Farmers: He has adopted so many villages across India. Any Ex-Colleague from Industry facing crisis: He will be the first one to stand up," one user tweeted.



Another user wrote, "@akshaykumar is such a good person & a most talented actor..so kind and precious. He really deserves only love. He worked so hard since d beginning, he struggled so much unlike star kids. People don't understand how low they are going by hating a gem."



One user urged others to stop defaming the 'self-made' stars. The tweet read, "Stop Defaming Selfmade Stars. Whenever any crisis happens in country, be it pandemic, flood or any disasters,, these two people comes ahead first, then Bollywood... Don't misunderstand true patriots on the basis of fake misleading datas."
