Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' helped revive the dull phase of the Box office. The film broke several records and has become the first Hindi film to enter the Rs. 500 crore club. While Kartik Aaryan's 'Shehzada' which was released last week failed to thrive at the box office, all eyes are now on the Akshay Kumar-starrer.
The past couple of weeks the actor has been extensively promoting 'Selfiee'. From visiting fans at malls, public events, universities, to breaking selfie records, Akshya has been promoting the film everywhere. The film also has a remake of the hit song 'Main Khiladi Tu Anari'. The lead actor also posed a challenge on social media asking his friends and fans to dance to the song. The actor also made Salman Khan dance to the hit track.
The film features Akshay as superstar Vijay and Emraan as a cop who is also a diehard fan and father who is willing to do anything to fulfil his son's dream of taking a picture with Vijay. It is the remake of the Malayalam film 'Driving License' which features Prithviraj and Suraj Venjaramoodu.
