'Laxmii' REVIEW: Yay Or Nay! How Is Akshay Kumar's New Film?
Akshay Kumar, who played the role of a transgender in 'Laxmii', is overwhelmed with the amazing response. The 'PadMan' star had promised the fans to deliver a big 'Diwali Dhamaka' and he didn't disappoint them.
"I am overwhelmed and overjoyed by the response that Laxmii received. It’s heartening to know that audiences and fans from across the country logged on to Disney+ Hotstar VIP to watch the movie within hours of its release. Who doesn’t love beating records – whether it’s at the box-office or opening night on streaming platforms. Nothing is comparable to this feeling of euphoria," Akshay said in a statement.
'Laxmii', which is the Hindi remake of Tamil hit 'Muni: Kanchana 2', also starred Rajesh Sharma, Ayesha Raza Mishra, Manu Rishi Chadha and Sharad Kelkar in key roles. The film was originally titled 'Laxmmi Bomb' but the makers decided to change the name following major uproar.
Akshay Kumar, known for his acting prowess, was seen in a different avatar in the horror comedy. Khiladi Kumar wore sarees and bangles as he played the role of a character, who was possessed by the spirit of a transgender.
Popular TV actor Sharad Kelkar, who has also done several films, received praises from the fans for his performance. One user tweeted, "Honestly speaking being @akshaykumar fan i can say @SharadK7 just steals the show with his 15 minutes cameo. Overall a good watch."
