‘Wearing turban fills me with pride’

Actor Akshay Kumar, who is busy with the shoot of his upcoming film Kesari, says wearing a turban for the role fills him with pride. Akshay attended the trailer launch of the film Nanak Shah Fakir in Mumbai on Thursday.  After Singh Is Kinng and Singh Is Bliing, Akshay will be seen sporting a turban in Kesari yet again.

“I have been shooting for Kesari since the last one-and-a-half months, and every time that I wear the taaj (turban) on my head, I am filled with pride,” he said. 

Earlier, Akshay had shifted the release date of Pad Man because of Padmaavat. Akshay let the controversial Padmaavat get a solo release, and now he has stepped in to support Nanak Shah Fakir. 

On the film’s re-release, Akshay said it is a “blessing in disguise”. — IANS
