Akshay Kumar is miffed and rightfully so. The Bollywood actor asks all award ceremonies (Oscars included) to take notice of the stunt men and women who work so hard to make the action sequences in a film look credible.
In his recent Facebook post, he has written a letter addressing to all his ‘stunt buddies’ saying “you should always be acknowledged globally for saving our lives & our films credibility with your expertise.”
Akshay, himself a black belt holder in Taekwondo wrote this elaborate post after the death of a stunt man of international repute with whom he was supposed to work.
He ends the post by writing “Love & Prayers AK the Actor/AK the stuntman...”
Whoa Akshay, more power to you!
