However, it was Akshay’s thoughtful gesture that won him praise on social media. The country is celebrating its 80th Independence Day, and Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff joined the celebrations in Mumbai. Recently, a video of the actors taking a break from playing cricket to hoist the national flag has been doing the rounds on social media.
The clip shows Akshay removing his shoes before holding and waving the national flag as everyone sang Jana Gana Mana. So Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff stopped the cricket match and got the Indian national flag brought there. I always wanted to play a psycho on-screen. With my last four-five films, I have tried to switch between completely different genres: comedy, horror, action, drama. This is my first time playing evil in the truest sense. I like to constantly challenge myself and Haiwaan is that challenge for me.”
The caption of the video read, “While playing cricket, they remembered that today is August 15, Independence Day.
Speaking to Hindustan Times about his character, the actor had said, “As the title goes, I am playing Haiwaan and my character has no grey shades, he’s out and out evil.
