Akshay Thanks Ex-Army Officer For Pointing Out Mistake In Gorkha Poster

Akshay Kumar, on Friday, announced his new film titled Gorkha, which is based on the life of war hero Major General Ian Cardozo, and shared his first look poster from the film on social media.

However, the next day, an ex-Army officer replied to Akshay Kumar's tweet and pointed out an error in the Gorkha poster, after which the actor promised to take "utmost care" during the shooting for the film so that the authenticity is maintained. In the poster, Akshay Kumar can be seen sporting an Army uniform and holding a curved knife or a khukri.

The ex-Army officer, in his tweet, wrote that the Khukri shown in the poster is not correct and attached a photo of a traditional khukri for reference. "Dear Akshay Kumar Ji, as an ex-Gorkha officer, my thanks to you for making this movie. However, details matter. Kindly get the Khukri right. The sharp edge is on the other side. It is not a sword. Khukri strikes from inner side of blade.
