Akshay Kumar on Friday replied to a tweet by Taapsee Pannu, where the actress had expressed disappointment that his much-hyped Diwali release, Laxmmi Bomb, would open on OTT and not the big screen.
"You're not alone... but the show must go on. Thank you for the love on the trailer," Akshay wrote to Taapsee.

Pulkit Samrat announced that he would wear bangles if the upcoming Akshay Kumar-starrer Laxmmi Bomb is anything less than a bumper hit.

In the trailer of Laxmmi Bomb, there is a scene where Akshay's character says that he will wear bangles if he comes face to face with ghosts someday. Pulkit's tweet is inspired by the dialogue.
Replying to Pulkit's tweet, Akshay wrote: "Thank you. Aapke munh mein ghee shakkar (here's hoping what you said comes true)."
