On Friday, Akshay Kumar announced his new film 'Gorkha' which is based on the life of Major General Ian Cardozo, who lost his leg in a landmine blast but overcame his disability to become the first war-disable officer of the Indian Army to command a battalion and a brigade. The upcoming film's poster has left fans beyond excited for the film.
On Saturday, reacting to the poster, a retired Army officer pointed out a mistake in the poster. Major Manik M Jolly tweeted, "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."
Replying to him, Akshay wrote, "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.” ALSO READ:Akshay Kumar Shares First Look From Gorkha, Actor To Play War Hero Major General Ian Cardozo, See PHOTO
