Akshay Kumar recently announced that he will star in Gorkha, a film that is based on the life of Major General Ian Cardozo, a legendary officer of the Gorkha Regiment of the Indian Army. On Friday, Akshay Kumar released the poster of Gorkha where he can be seen holding a khukri or a curved knife. However, a former Gorkha Regiment officer, Manik M Jolly, has pointed out a mistake in the poster. “Dear @akshaykumar ji, as an ex Gorkha officer, my thanks to you for making this movie. However, details matter. Kindly get the Khukri right. The sharp edge is on the other side. It is not a sword. Khukri strikes from the inner side of the blade. Ref pic of Khukri att. Thanks,” he wrote.
Akshay Kumar acknowledged the mistake in the poster and also sought further assistance. “Dear Maj Jolly, thank you so much for pointing this out. We’ll take utmost care while filming. I’m very proud and honoured to be making Gorkha. Any suggestions to get it closest to reality would be most appreciated,” he wrote back.
