Akshay Kumar at the trailer launch of Gabbar Is Back
Actor Akshay Kumar unveiled the trailer of his much-awaited film Gabbar Is Back in the presence of the entire cast of the movie on March 23. The actor also performed a small stunt before the event started.
Gabbar Is Back is the remake of 2002 Tamil film Ramanaa.
"The entire nation knows that Gabbar is the biggest villain. In that film (Sholay), he killed all the good people and in this film also, this Gabbar is hitting out, but at the wrong people," Akshay told reporters during the trailer launch.
Gabbar Is Back has been directed by famous southern director Krish and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures.
The film features Akshay and Shruti Haasan in the lead roles.
Gabbar Is Back is slated to release on May 1.
Akshay said he always liked working on different subjects and it was important to make a film on corruption.
"I have worked with AR Murugadoss, who directed the original film
Ramanna. He had written the film 11 years back. I think, still there is corruption and to stop corruption, it was a great way to do this film. I have always worked on different subjects and it depends on people what they pick up from his film," he said.
