During the interaction, Akshay also reminisced about his 1994 hit film Main Khiladi Tu Anari with Saif, joking about a potential sequel. “Maine uske saath ek film ki thi Main Khiladi Tu Anari, lekin agli baar agar hum karenge toh banayenge Do Khiladi (I did a film with him earlier called Main Khiladi Tu Anari. If we work together again, we’ll call it Do Khiladi),” Akshay quipped, bringing smiles to fans.

Saif Ali Khan, who was attacked by a robber with a knife at his residence, has been recovering well at Lilavati Hospital. Reports suggest that the actor will be discharged today. The incident shocked fans and the industry, but Saif’s quick thinking and courage in protecting his family have been widely applauded.

Meanwhile, Akshay is busy promoting Sky Force, a high-stakes action thriller releasing on January 24. The film sees him playing an Air Force officer on a revenge mission, alongside debutant Veer Pahariya, Sara Ali Khan, and Nimrat Kaur.

As the industry rallies around Saif, Akshay’s heartfelt words and light-hearted banter serve as a reminder of the camaraderie Bollywood stars share, even amid challenging times.
