While the actor was dealing with this tragic loss, his close friend and filmmaker Aanand L Rai’s mother passed away on the same morning. Despite his personal tragedy, Kumar was seen arriving at the Oshiwara crematorium to pay his last respects to Aanand L Rai’s mother. He wore a white kurta and sported a face mask as a precautionary measure against COVID-19.

Akshay Kumar and Aanand L Rai are working together in the film ‘Rakshabandhan’, which also stars Bhumi Pednekar. They have also collaborated for ‘Atrangi Re’, which has been delayed due to the COVID-19 crisis. The comedy-drama co-starring Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush has been directed by Aanand L Rai.

Akshay tweeted earlier today, “’She was my core. And today I feel an unbearable pain at the very core of my existence. My maa Smt Aruna Bhatia peacefully left this world today morning and got reunited with my dad in the other world. I respect your prayers as I and my family go through this period. Om Shanti”.

Several Bollywood celebs offered their condolences to Akshay Kumar and Aanand L Rai after their mothers passed away. For more such updates, stay tuned to ‘The India Chron’.

Though the release of the film is no where close to 2021, “Bollywood Hungama” has managed to bring out the plots from the film. The entertainment Channel Bollywood Hungama says that, “We are told that Akshay Kumar plays the role of an individual who exists only in Sara Ali Khan’s imagination.”

“In Atrangi Re, Akshay’s character is only a figment of Sara’s imagination. He doesn’t exist for real. Instead he only exists in her mind when she dreams of dating a handsome guy, who is embodied by Akshay. On the other hand, Dhanush’s character is real”, confirms a known and trusted industry insider to Bollywood Hungama.

Adding to this, he talks about the triangle between the stars here, Dhanush- Sara- Akshay. This “Khabri” let them know, “So Dhanush plays a guy who is in love with Sara Ali Khan’s character, but he has to constantly compete with Akshay Kumar’s character who exists only in Sara’s mind. So he (Dhanush) has to keep bettering himself to overcome what Sara thinks is the most ideal guy in the world.”

The plot of the film and the triangle looks interesting when the ‘Kolaveri Di’ famed star Dhanush comes to bollywood after years of his debut with Amitabh Bachchan. On the other hand Kumar’s Bell Bottom is having a great screen time as audience is enjoying every bit of the film and praising the actor along with actress Vani Kapoor for the shorts and acting.akshay
