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.

i want airlift to cross 100cr atleast……
….but iam damn sure it will not cross it….100% guaranteed…..it is difficult, even with positive w.o.m….
I know Airlift will be a very good movie but due to the presence of 80cr club’s star Mr flopshay Kumar it won’t bcm successful one.

@jokerfan:
Baby, gobar, singh is Bandar, brothers etc all were holiday releases still they struggled to go past even 80cr mark. On the other hand Varun Dhawan’s abcd2 collected 100cr+ easily. So even varun dhawan is bigger star than jokerboy forget Khans.
BTW, which jokerboy movie collected 3000cr???…LOL.
I just hope Akki fans watch this film in theatres coz most of them don’t watch his films in theatres

Another flop signed by Akshay Kumar! Some years ago he was on top, but these days he can only give flops or crap movie, like Singh is Bliing :))
@tiger but airlift needs just 80-85cr to bcm hit bcz of low budget as producers HVfinally realised that 80cr is the correct value for a fading superstar Akkis films. Smart move. I appreciate it
@SUSH you cant even comment without referring the biggest megastar of India aamir khan can you? Even in akshay’s article you need to take the biggest megastar aamir khan’s name for reference. Keep barking haters. You will never succeed. Aamir will keep shattering all records. No one can do what aamir can do. No one can do the hard work which aamir does. So just shut your hypocrite mouth. Akshay can never do any role like perfection as megastar aamir khan does.
Boycott Dangal,Raees,Fan like Dilwale
@Rajesh kulkarni read the comments of babaji in many old articles. He used to bash aamir also. Not sure about now, but whenever he commented about aamir he used to mock him that what I know. He still bashes Salman by calling him names. That’s the reason why he is facing this heat. He is a chameleon who created fake ids and bashes all the actors by different id. That’s his true color. And you very well know how cheap and lunatic that illiterate 4th fail kid @sunny alkoholic is. He bashes aamir, ajay, hrithik and sometimes Salman. Such fake, horrendous people are the reason why we bash akshay. So tell them to stay within their limits first. You also used to bash aamir and ajay. There are many akshay fans who bash hrithik as well. So what can I say about you guys?
Actor Akshay kumar. Good he does not deserve superstar. Some fans saying Tushar movie may affect airlift that is typical Makki fans. If it was a movie of either Salman ajay aamir srk Hritik, Tushar Toh kya even jumping jack jeetu ji presence will never affect their releases. Actor Akshay where is Sunny Akkiholic?

Can never forgive him for ruining a masterpiece in the name Ouatim and giving sid his first flop in his career. Most underachieved fading superstar.
He has to even join hands with our South Megastar to be part of the coveted prestige edx privilege. poor man
Hope it earns moolah
All of your actors are all just stupid money greedy actors. Akki makes quality films
@ Movie fan : these morons didn’t understand you properly…
@ Haters : He specifically wrote that worldwide 100Cr and not just domestic.. i think either you dnt read properly or you dont understand english :) get some life guys…
@suchit & amir fans dont even compare amir with akshay,we dont want to compare akshay with that nanga punga star,who can remove his cloth for money,can leave his money for his security,can take 2yrs to complete nakahre,aur usme bhi nautanki 10 Bar injured hota hai,since last 2yrs he shocked many by his antics & comments
