Akshay Kumar is currently in the scheme of things for his next film, ‘Mission Mangal’. The superstar has been there for more than 25 years in the film industry and yet is charged up and motivated enough to do 3-4 films in a year. His next is currently ‘Mission Mangal’ that’s releasing on 15th August, and it is about ISRO’s successful mission to Mars. However Akshay Kumar’s ‘Padman’ is suddenly doing the rounds in the news too for winning the National Award. Regarding the same, Akshay Kumar reacted and was quoted as saying –
“I was in the midst of Mission Mangal promotions when Tina called me asking if it was true – if Padman had actually won a National Award for Best Film On Social Issues. All my tiredness of promotions vanished hearing this news. I remember it was on the sets of Padman only that Sonam and I got the news of winning our respective National Awards last year. So life has come a full circle and I couldn’t be happier for Tina for winning this with her debut production and of course R.Balki for putting it all together, and the entire team behind Padman. Not just that, Chumbak, a Marathi film I presented, Swanand Kirkire won the National Award for Best Supporting Actor for that film. Overall, it’s been a rewarding day.”
Here’s wishing Akki more such awards and accomplishments. For more such updates, stay tuned to IWMBUZZ.com
