Akshay Kumar was slated to join Salman Khan for the finale of Bigg Boss 18, but fans were shocked when the superstar left without filming his segment. Kumar’s co-star Veer Pahariya eventually represented their upcoming film Sky Force on stage.
Salman Khan’s Explanation
Salman Khan addressed the situation during the live broadcast, explaining, “I was running late, and Akki had another event to attend. He couldn’t wait, so he had to leave.” This statement came amid media reports claiming that Akshay had waited over an hour before exiting.
Commitments to ‘Jolly LLB 3’
Akshay’s packed schedule reportedly included promotional work for Jolly LLB 3, leaving him unable to extend his stay on the set. Despite the show’s producers trying to persuade him to return, the actor declined due to time constraints.
Promoting ‘Sky Force’ Without Its Lead Star
Directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Kapur, Sky Force is a gripping war thriller set to release on January 24. Co-stars Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur join Akshay and Veer Pahariya in the cast, with the film aiming to attract audiences during the Republic Day weekend.
