Mumbai, March 16 Actress Wamiqa Gabbi will be sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar for the first time in the upcoming horror comedy, "Bhooth Bangla".
As the two are busy promoting their next film, Wamiqa displayed some of Akshay's signature energy when she decided to challenge him to an arm wrestling match.
The video uploaded by Wamiqa on her Instagram handle showed the two engaging in a playful arm wrestling match on the flight.
As Akshay was about to win, someone placed a lipstick on the table. Wamiqa's protective instincts immediately kicked in, and she used all her strength to ultimately defeat Akshay.
Towards the end of the clip, she was seen holding the lipstick with a relieved expression.
In the caption, Wamiqa clarified that it was the only lipstick she had with her, which made it even more significant.
"Just some KHILADI energy before entering Bhooth Bangla on April 10th (by the way, that was the only lipstick I had, it was an important one) (Sic)," the 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' actress captioned the post.
Taking a humorous approach to the situation, Akshay wrote in the comment section, "Lesson learnt: never interfere with a girl and her lipstick. Even a Khiladi will lose that fight."
"Bhooth Bangla" is being presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with Cape of Good Films.
Directed by Priyadarshan and co-produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, and Ektaa R Kapoor, the film is expected to be released in cinemas on April 10th this year.
Along with Akshay and Wamiqa, "Bhooth Bangla" boasts a stellar cast including powerhouse performers such as Paresh Rawal, Asrani, and Rajpal Yadav in key roles.
The project marks the return of Akshay and Priyadarshan after a 14-year gap.
