Interestingly Akshay even said that Allu Arjun of Pushpa: The Rise fame should work with him.
“Please stop creating the divide and rule kind of scenario in the country. There is nothing called south and north we all are one as an industry. Now, the time has come from across all the industries to join and work together for a film for all the Indian audiences and Allu Arjun should work with me soon and I will act with another south actor. That is the way forward from now on,” Akshay was quoted as saying.
On the work front, Akshay Kumar’s magnum opus, Samrat Prithiviraj, hit the theatres on June 3. The actor has been busy promoting the period drama based on the life of Prithviraj Chauhan, a legendary Rajput king from the Chahamana dynasty.
