Mumbai, March 12 Bollywood star Akshay Kumar hailed late filmmaker Yash Chopra as one of "India's finest directors" during the latest episode of the reality game show "Wheel of Fortune".
The episode featured actors Gaurav Gera, Rakesh Bedi, and Ayesha Khan alongside Akshay, creating humor and lively energy on stage.
A touching moment occurred during one of the puzzle rounds on "Wheel of Fortune" when contestant Gaurav Gera came close to solving the puzzle but couldn't quite find the answer.
Seeing this, host Akshay approached the audience, inviting them to try their luck.
One of the audience members quickly guessed the correct answer, "Yash Chopra".
This answer reminded Akshay of the legendary filmmaker.
With admiration in his voice, the "Airlift" actor said, "Yash Chopra was one of the best directors in our Indian film industry."
Later in the episode, Akshay and Gaurav decided to reminisce about their past collaborations and talk about the films they had worked on together.
For those unaware, these two actors shared screen space in the 2014 film "The Shaukeens" and reunited 10 years later for "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan" in 2024.
"Wheel of Fortune" airs from Monday to Friday at 9:00 PM, exclusively on Sony Entertainment Television, and also streams on Sony LIV.
In another update, Akshay has teamed up with filmmaker Priyadarshan after 14 years for the promising horror comedy, "Bhooth Bangla".
On Thursday, the makers treated the movie enthusiasts with an exciting teaser from the highly anticipated drama.
The preview gives a glimpse into the spooky yet entertaining world of Mangalpur, where no one gets married, as they fear the arrival of an unfamiliar entity called Vadhusur.
Backed by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, and Ektaa R Kapoor, "Bhooth Bangla" is set to release in cinemas on April 10th.
