Akshay Kumar on using F-word in teaser
Akshay said, “Haan maine yeh word use kiya. But kamaal ki baat yeh ki aapne yeh cheez dekhi but jo word use kiya tha you are still a slave, that was not a big gaali for you? I think usse badi gaali nahi ho sakti. I would have been happy if you had said they used the word slave rather than talking about f* you. Because according to me, at that time if they had shot with gun also it would have looked insignificant. (Yes, I used that word. But what’s surprising is that you noticed this, yet the phrase ‘you are still a slave’ was not considered a big insult? I think there can be no bigger insult than that. I would have been happier if you had pointed out that they used the word ‘slave’ rather than focusing on ‘f* you).” His response earned him huge applause, and Karan Johar was also seen smiling.
The teaser of the film showcased the Golden Temple in 1919. A voiceover narrated how the British massacred people gathered at Jallianwala Bagh. In the film, Akshay plays a stern lawyer in a courtroom presided over by a British judge. A segment of the video shows the judge telling him inside the court, “Don’t forget you’re still a slave of the British Empire.” To this, Akshay’s character responds, “F* you.”**
