A member of the trust noted that Akshay frequently donates in honor of his parents, Hari Om Bhatia and Aruna Bhatia, as well as his father-in-law, Rajesh Khanna. They highlighted that Akshay is not just a generous donor but also a socially conscious citizen. He expressed concern for the people of Ayodhya and emphasized the importance of feeding the monkeys without causing any inconvenience or littering in the city.

On the film front, Akshay Kumar is set to appear in "Singham Again," the latest installment in Rohit Shetty's cop universe. He will reprise his role as Sooryavanshi in the movie, which also features stars like Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and others. The film is scheduled to release on November 1.
