“We’ll take utmost care”: Akshay Kumar reacts as ex-Army officer points out mistake in ‘Gorkha’ poster

Actor Akshay Kumar has recently announced his new film titled ‘Gorkha’, which is based on the life of war hero Major General Ian Cardozo, and shared his first look poster from the film on social media. In the poster, Akshay could be seen looking fierce, holding a Khukri like curved knife. However, an ex-Army officer pointed out a major mistake in the poster.

Taking to Twitter, Major Manik M Jolly pointed out that a traditional Khukri looks different than depicted in the poster. The 54-year-old actor then responded to him, saying they will take utmost care while filming the movie.

In a tweet, Major Manik M Jolly wrote, “Dear @akshaykumar ji, as an ex Gorkha officer, my thanks to you for making this movie. However, details matter. Kindly get the Khukri right. The sharp edge is on the other side. It is not a sword. Khukri strikes from inner side of blade. Ref pic of Khukri att. Thanks."

To this, Akshay responded, “Dear Maj Jolly, thank you so much for pointing this out. We’ll take utmost care while filming. I’m very proud and honoured to be making Gorkha. Any suggestions to get it closest to reality would be most appreciated."
