Actor Akshay Kumar says his upcoming film ‘Airlift’ is not about the nation, but also saving people. He also said he detests nation-bashing in films.
“It’s (Airlift) not about a nation, it’s about saving people. I hate any kind of nation-bashing in films. I don’t like it,” the actor told the media here on Thursday while promoting his forthcoming film ‘Airlift’.
Directed by Raja Krishna Menon, ‘Airlift’ also stars Nimrat Kaur, who was seen in ‘The Lunchbox’.
Akshay plays a character who had a crucial role in the evacuation of Kuwait-based Indians during the Iraq-Kuwait war in 1990.
The story of the film is from the point of view of Akshay’s character who helped Indians get airlifted from Kuwait. As the poster of the film suggests – 1,70,00 refugees, 488 flights, 59 days and one man.
Air India entered into Guinness Book of World Records for the civil airline that had evacuated the most people till date.
Akshay said the pilots of Air India were the biggest heroes.
“Hats off to them,” he added.

Too much patriotic jingo around airlift.. Hope it lives upto expectations…
Airlift next friday and Azhar on 13th May are films to watch out for in 1st half of 2016 !
Airlift is actually about saving Akshay’s supestarom. He has dropped to no.8 already and will soon get removed from top10 if he fails to deliver 2 superhits in next 3 releases. He badly needs to now cross rowdy lifetime which was coincidentally his last big hit that came 3.5yrs and 11 films back…!!!!
Forget box office collection.This is going to be a cult classic.
Airlift is my awaited film this month because of the patriotism not for the lead. And yes, I will continue to bash akshay till his idiotic moron fans like @sunny alcoholic and @babaji dont learn the lesson and start respecting aamir, Salman, ajay and hrithik. Personally I dont hate akshay, but I mock him to take revenge and shut these people’s mouth.
Akshay is making really good films these days….holiday, gabbar, baby,….hope airlift scores big at the box office…
hats off to You Also Akshay..! The hard working guy, not like other doing one film in two years and got injured and here akshay doing 8 movies in 2 years and no injury.
Air India is the 4th largest airline in India. I am sure Air India will gain huge market share due to Airlift.

@Ultron tera Salman kya kar raha hai??? Chutiyapa???
1st of all Salman’s Marigold…Rofl…Salman is nothing without EDX,big banners,directors,songs,so much promotions…All the hits and blockbusters of Salman came from holiday week and bcz of big directors…Otherwise he’s nothing…
Akshay Kumar is the biggest star of India…3000 cr. mind it…18 films of him crossed 100 cr. worldwide…Salman is way behind him only 8…HAHA…
Salman is a epic shit…
Either You’re a Pakistani or Salman is your 2nd DAD so why you’re abusing a film like Airlift…

@Phantom 30 cr.
I actually saw many people who are going to watch KKHH 3 instead of Airlift and my question was like seriously ? Go and watch some porn and read some adult jokes on whatsapp instead of wasting your few bucks .
