Bollywood star Akshay Kumar might have done a slew of patriotic films. But do you know his favourite patriotic movie? Here’s a hint — It starred the late Raaj Kumar in a pivotal role and was released during the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
No clue? The movie is Hindustan Ki Kasam, which released in cinemas in 1973.
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Akshay said, “Ek film thi Hindustan Ki Kasam, Ajay Devgn wali nahi, usse pehli wali. Usme bhi air force and army pe focus tha. Shayad bohot zyada logon ne nahi dekhi usse. Usme ek bohot pyara gana bhi tha. Wo 1971 ke daruan aayi thi aur uss time war bhi chal raha tha (There was a movie called Hindustan Ki Kasam. Not the Ajay Devgn one, the one before that, which came out around the 1971 war. I don’t think a lot of people saw that. It featured a lovely song too).”
On the work front, Akshay has been busy promoting his film, Sky Force. The movie also stars Sara Ali Khan and marks the debut of her rumoured ex-boyfriend, Veer Pahariya. It releases this Friday.
