Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar
Akshay Kumar, who is currently busy promoting his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2, has talked about his friend Salman Khan`s recently released film Sikandar receiving an underwhelming response. Akshay Kumar has worked with Salman Khan on hit films like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Jaan-E-Mann.
When Akshay was asked about films like Sikandar featuring big actors like Salman Khan not performing well, he was quick to say that this is not true. Reacting to the question, Akshay said, “Aisa ho nahi sakta hai. Tiger zinda hai aur humesha rahega (This cannot happen. Tiger is alive and always will be).” He further added, “Salman ek aisi nasal ka tiger hai jo zindagi mein kabhi maar nahi sakta. Woh mera dost hai, he will always be there."
