IPS officer points blunder in Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi BTS photo; here's how actor reacts

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar turned to social media to reveal that Sooryavanshi, the much-anticipated cop drama helmed by Rohit Shetty, will be released this Diwali. Akshay tweeted a behind-the-scenes photo from the film's set, in which he can be seen speaking alongside Shetty, Ranveer Singh, and Ajay Devgn, all of whom have cameos in the film. 

Akshay tweeted, "So many families would be thanking Sh Uddhav Thackeray today! Grateful for allowing the reopening of cinema halls in Maharashtra from October 22. Ab kisi ke roke na rukegi - AA RAHI HAI POLICE #Sooryavanshi #Diwali2021."

While supporters were overjoyed, IPS officer RK Vij saw a flaw in the photograph and tweeted, "Inspector Saheb is sitting (Tan Kar) and SP Saheb is standing, it doesn't happen like this, sir."

In Shetty's world, Vij alludes to Ranveer's Simmba being lesser in classification than Ajay's Singham and Akshay's Sooryavanshi.

"Sir, this behind-the-scenes photo," Akshay replied to Vij. "The guidelines are followed by us actors the moment the cameras are turned on. Regards to our magnificent police forces for all time," the actor added. 

The conversation between Akshay and Vij went viral on social media, with Vij's tweet receiving over 15,000 likes. The film's release date was announced after the Maharashtra government announced that theatres would open on October 22.
