Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani are sharing screen space for the second time in Laxmii. Their first outing was December 2019 release Good Newwz co-starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh. But did you know it was Akshay who launched Kiara in Bollywood? Yes, it was in 2014, when Kiara made her Bollywood debut with the film Fugly. The film is directed by Kabir Sadanand and co-produced by Ashvini Yardi and Alka Bhatia.
During an interaction, Kiara shared her happiness on getting launched by Akshay and working opposite him in Laxmii. She stated, "Life’s come a full circle, from being launched in the movies to being the leading actress in a film with Akshay Sir. There’s always so much to learn from him, from his work ethics to the energy as an actor that he brings to a scene."
Kiara also shared, "When we worked together on good news I was a bit intimidated working with Sir, I wouldn’t speak as much. I would silently listen and observe him on set, the way he would improvise and add so much life to a scene always inspired me. By the time we started working on Laxmii I had opened up, felt more confident and the journey has been amazing."
Talking about starring in another remake after Kabir Singh, Advani went on to say, "I can’t compare the two. Each film has its own destiny. Laxmii is a horror-comedy and also a family entertainer. I believe the film has its heart in the right place just like Kabir Singh did so I hope the magic happens again."
