Sharad Kelkar and Akshay Kumar bowled everyone over with their transgender act in the recently released horror-comedy Laxmii. While the film received mixed reviews, with most of the reviews leaning towards the negative, Kelkar and Kumar's performances were widely appreciated.

In an interview with ETimes, Sharad Kelkar spoke about his experience working on the film and with Akshay Kumar. He shared, "It was a great experience altogether. It was my second film with Akshay sir and he was generous and kind to me. They were searching for an actor for this particular role and many actors turned down the offer while a few big names were rejected by the production house."
