The previous time Akshay Kumar took the Mumbai metro

Back in 2019, Akshay Kumar, who was shooting for his thriller drama Laxmi Bomb, was shooting in Ghatkopar on September 18. The actor, who had to reach Versova at the peak hours, ditched his car and opted for the Mumbai Metro to reach sooner.

Not only this, but Akshay also shared a video on social media to share his experience with the fans on how he got stuck in a jam and decided to take the Mumbai Metro. When the actor was at a loss as to how he might reach his destination, Raj Mehta, the director of the upcoming film Good Newwz, suggested Akshay could try a ride on the Metro, and that it would save him time.

Akshay also elaborated that had he tried reaching Versova from Ghatkopar by road, he would have easily spent a couple of hours if not more, to reach his destination. On Metro, it took him just about 20 minutes to reach Versova. Tanishaa Mukerji, Kajol's sister also commented on the video: "Too cute! U look so thrilled about going in the metro so much childlike excitement [sic]"

Akshay Kumar added that the Metro seemed ideal during Mumbai's heavy rains when water flooded the roads. 

Akshay is the second actor to have come out and praised the Mumbai Metro after Amitabh Bachchan, at a time when most Bollywood stars have been protesting the cutting of trees in Aarey Colony to build a Metro car shed.
