Akshay Kumar recently seized the opportunity to promote his latest release ‘Sky Force’ ahead of its OTT release by leaning into his meme-making skills. On Wednesday, the actor shared a playful video on Instagram alongside actor Veer Pahariya, recreating the viral hook-step from Veer, but this time without the song’s audio.

The hook-step, which gained massive attention when the film was released, quickly became a subject of memes – though not in the most flattering light. While the film's PR campaign ensured that Veer’s dance was seen by nearly everyone online, it was his infamous "langdi" hook-step to the song Rang that turned into viral fodder. However, Veer Pahariya handled the trolling with grace and humor, even turning it into an asset. A prime example of this was when he incorporated the 'langdi' step into a Holi advertisement, making the commercial go viral and proving that sometimes, even negative attention can be leveraged for positive publicity.
