New Delhi: Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan were spotted at the Mumbai private airport on Monday morning as they jetted off to promote their upcoming historical drama Kesari Chapter 2. The duo posed for pictures with the paparazzi before heading into the terminal.

A now-viral video posted by celebrity photographer Viral Bhayani captured a moment that fans couldn’t stop talking about. As the paparazzi called out their names for photos, Akshay Kumar was seen approaching the police officer on duty and respectfully asking if it was alright to stop and pose for the cameras.

Though the officer appeared hesitant at first, he permitted the actors to pose briefly. Akshay and Madhavan then shared a few light-hearted moments and smiled for the cameras.

For the airport look, R. Madhavan embraced traditional wear with a white kurta-pyjama, while Akshay kept it casual in a grey ensemble, accessorised with black sunglasses.

Netizens quickly flooded the comments section with praise. One fan wrote, “They both are really very well-mannered and true gentlemen. That’s why they’re my favourites in the industry.” 

Another added, “That’s why he’s my favourite,” while others described the duo as “real gems” and “actual gentlemen.”

Kesari Chapter 2 is based on the book The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat.
