Akshay Kumar, Karan Johar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday launched the much-anticipated trailer of their upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2: The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in Delhi. The makers hosted a grand event, and in the presence of the media, they released the trailer of the upcoming film based on the real-life horrific incident that has left a scar in Indian history. During the event, the media asked several questions to the stars, and among them was one about Akshay Kumar saying “F*** Y**” in the trailer of the film.

When asked, Akshay reacted, saying, “Haan, maine yeh word use kiya. But kamaal ki baat yeh ki aapne yeh cheez dekhi, but jo word use kiya tha ‘you are still a slave,’ that was not a big gaali for you? I think usse badi gaali nahi ho sakti. I would have been happy if you had said they used the word ‘slave’ rather than talking about ‘f*** you.’ Because according to me, at that time, if they had shot with a gun also, it would have looked insignificant.” (Yes, I used that word. But what’s surprising is that you noticed this, yet the phrase ‘you are still a slave’ was not considered a big insult? I think there can be no bigger insult than that. I would have been happier if you had pointed out that they used the word ‘slave’ rather than focusing on ‘f*** you.’)
