It was a not-so-pleasant surprise for Akshay Kumar fans when recently ‘news’ started floating around the news of the actor having just 25 minutes role in his upcoming release Mission Mangal. Considering the fact that the film was being promoted as the next big patriotic film of the superstar which is set for release on Independence Day, it was hard to digest this piece of information.
As has turned out though, there is no truth to the rumour making rounds and Akshay indeed is ‘the hero of the film’.
“When Akshay has a cameo or an extended guest appearance in a film, he announces that himself loud and clear. He did that with Naam Shabana, right? Taapsee Pannu was the leading lady of the film and everyone associated with the film, including Akshay himself, made this clear to the fans well in advance so that their expectations are pretty much in check,” says an insider.

That’s the reason why the rumour has pretty much-disturbed everyone associated with the film, especially producer R. Balki who last directed Akshay in PadMan.
“I have no clue from where did this false news piece originate,” Balki wonders, “There is no truth to this whatsoever.”
