Gorkha: Akshay Kumar Reacts To Retired Army Officer Pointing Out A Mistake In The Poster, “We’ll Take Utmost Care While Filming”

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar on Friday announced his next film Gorkha, which is based on the life of Major General Ian Cardozo, a legendary officer of the Gorkha regiment of the Indian Army (5th Gorkha Rifles). An ex Gorkha officer pointed out a major mistake in the poster and the star reacted to it.

The new film marks Akki’s third collaboration with filmmaker and producer Anand L Rai. Previously the two collaborated on Atrangi Re and Raksha Bandhan. The film will be helmed by Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan.

An ex Gorkha officer, Major Manik M Jolly, took to Twitter on Saturday to point out a major mistake in the poster. He said that a traditional Khukri looks different than depicted in the poster. Jolly wrote, “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.”
