Akshay Kumar recently announced his new film titled Gorkha, which is based on the life of war hero Major General Ian Cardozo. A legendary officer of the Gorkha regiment of the Indian Army. The actor shared the film’s first look poster on social media. The next day, an ex-Army officer replied to Akshay Kumar’s tweet and pointed out a mistake in the poster.
In the first look poster, Akshay Kumar is sporting an Army uniform and holding a curved knife or a khukri. An ex-Gorkha officer pointed out a major mistake in the poster. Taking Twitter, Major Manik M Jolly posted a film’s poster along with an Image of Khukri. He captioned the post, “Dear Akshay Kumar 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 the inner side of blade. Ref pic of Khukri att. Thanks.”
Akshay then thanked him for “pointing out” the mistake and 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.”
