Bollywood star Akshay Kumar praised the late filmmaker Yash Chopra as one of Indian cinema’s finest directors on the reality game show “Wheel of Fortune.” Joining Akshay on the show are actors Gaurav Gera, Rakesh Bedi, and Ayesha Khan, adding humor and energy to the stage.
During a puzzle round on the show, contestant Gaurav Gera almost solved the puzzle but couldn’t crack the answer. Akshay, the host, then invited the audience to try their luck, leading to a quick correct guess of ‘Yash Chopra’ from a member of the audience.
This answer triggered memories of the legendary filmmaker for Akshay. He expressed his admiration, stating, “Yash Chopra was one of the best directors of our Indian film industry.” Later in the episode, Akshay and Gaurav reminisced about their shared work in films like “The Shaukeens” in 2014 and “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” in 2024.
Akshay Kumar has also teamed up with filmmaker Priyadarshan after 14 years for the horror comedy “Bhooth Bangla.” The movie, jointly produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, and Ektaa R Kapoor, is set to release in cinemas on 10th April.
