Akshaye Khanna Going Viral
Amid this wave of appreciation, an old clip featuring Akshaye Khanna from the film Tees Maar Khan’ has resurfaced and is going viral once again. The meme has not only amused fans but also drawn a witty reaction from Akshay Kumar, who played the lead role in the 2010 film. The viral Tees Maar Khan clip shows Akshay Kumar’s character pretending to be a film director to con people. In the scene, he hilariously flatters Akshaye Khanna’s character, Atish Kapadia, calling him a superstar and an Oscar winner in an attempt to manipulate him.
