Actor and producer Akshay Kumar has donated Rs 1 crore to the Chief Minister’s fund for the victims of cyclone Fani that wreaked havoc in Odisha and some parts of West Bengal.
Akshay Kumar was one of the first actors to donate money for the victims.
“This is not new. Kumar has always been contributing for causes, be it his Bharat ke Veer initiative for the armed forces, or his contribution to the Kerala Floods or Chennai floods earlier,” Hindustan Times quoted an industry source as saying.
On the work front, Kumar will be next seen in ‘Good News’ opposite Kareena Kapoor-Khan. In the film, Kumar and Kareena Kapoor-Khan play a couple trying to get pregnant. The film also stars Diljit and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles.
‘Good News’ reunites Bebo and Akki after a hiatus of nine years. They were last seen in ‘Kambakkht Ishq’. The film is backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and helmed first-time director Raj Mehta.
He will also be seen in ‘Sooryavanshi’, which is backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
