Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has made headlines again, not for his on-screen heroics but for his philanthropic work. During his time in Udaipur for the shooting of his latest film project ‘Khel Khel Mein’, featuring the talented Taapsee Pannu, the actor took some time out to make a significant contribution to the community. In a visit that highlights the softer side of his personality, Akshay made his way to the Vanvasi Kalyan Parishad hostel in Kherwara, Chhaoni, and committed a benevolent donation of Rs 1 crore towards the hostel’s renovation.
The Vanvasi Kalyan Parishad hostel, vital to the local education landscape, is now set to receive a much-needed facelift thanks to Akshay’s funding. Not stopping at financial assistance, the Bollywood luminary also took part in a puja ceremony at the hostel premises. The captured video of this event has since captured the imagination of netizens, turning into a viral sensation and endearing Akshay even more to his already vast fan base.
The generosity of this renowned actor is prominent across social media platforms, where users have been quick to express their admiration for his charitable act. Such gestures not only reinforce Akshay Kumar’s status as a leading figure in the Indian film industry but also as a caring individual dedicated to giving back to society.
While in Udaipur, Akshay has been engrossed in the making of ‘Khel Khel Mein’, a film helmed by Mudassar Aziz. While he lights up the screen alongside Taapsee Pannu, additional star power comes in the form of actors like Vaani Kapoor, Aditya Seal, and Ammy Virk. Fans are eagerly waiting for an official announcement detailing the release and storyline of what promises to be another exciting addition to Akshay’s impressive filmography.
In addition to ‘Khel Khel Mein’, Akshay Kumar’s professional slate is brimming with a series of diverse and ambitious projects. Among these is the highly anticipated ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, which pairs him with Tiger Shroff and includes a supporting cast of Sonakshi Sinha, Alaya F, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film is scheduled for release on Eid 2024 and is shot across various global locales including Mumbai, London, Abu Dhabi, Scotland, and Jordan. The movie is already stirring excitement for its grandeur and cinematic finesse on par with Hollywood productions.
The film’s latest song ‘Mast Malang Jhoom’ has just been released, showcasing the vocal talents of Vishal Mishra, Arijit Singh, and Nikhita Gandhi, with the composition and lyrics by the renowned Irshad Kamil. They had previously launched the film’s catchy title track, differentiated from the iconic 1998 movie’s title song yet retaining the nostalgic ‘bade to bade miyan, chote miyan subhanallah’ line that resonates with many fans.
Akshay Kumar’s lineup doesn’t end there, with numerous other titles waiting in the wings. This includes the comically charged ‘Housefull 5’, the Hindi remake ‘Sarfira’ of the Tamil hit ‘Soorarai Pottru’, and the ensemble adventure ‘Welcome to the Jungle’.

With his latest philanthropic endeavor and a bustling film career, Akshay Kumar continues to demonstrate his range and depth as both a cinematic star and a compassionate human being. Fans and observers can only wait with bated breath for his next move on screen and off, as he keeps winning hearts with his captivating performances and altruistic initiatives.
