The latest promo of the quiz reality show Wheel of Fortune showcases Rajkummar Rao embodying Akshay Kumar’s famous ‘Wicked Sunny’ persona with style. Rajkummar’s energetic portrayal, complete with trendy sunglasses and a confident demeanor, garnered praise from both the audience and Akshay Kumar himself. Archana Puran Singh, present during the shoot, commended Rajkummar in her comedic manner, acknowledging his imitation of Akshay with a playful remark.
To those unfamiliar, the iconic walk originates from the 2004 hit comedy Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. Akshay Kumar’s portrayal of Sunny, known for his witty one-liners, flirtatious charm, and rivalry with Salman Khan’s character in the movie, has become a beloved meme and a nostalgic reference for Bollywood enthusiasts. The Wheel of Fortune, hosted by Akshay Kumar, featured Rajkummar Rao, Archana Puran Singh, and Sanya Malhotra as guests on the show.
In a recent episode, contestant Vispy shared a heartwarming anecdote about Akshay Kumar’s altruistic contributions to the world of martial arts. Vispy, a long-time student of Akshay’s training programs, revealed how the star supports students by funding their training in Thailand for international competitions. Expressing gratitude, Vispy credited Akshay for introducing Kudo, a hybrid martial art, to the Indian audience and nurturing its growth in the country.
