PICS: Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar promote Toilet: Ek Prem Katha

Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar, and Anupam Kher promoted their movie Toilet: Ek Prem Katha in Mumbai today. The movie directed by Shree Narayan Singh is co-produced by Akshay Kumar and Neeraj Pandey. It stars Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar in the lead roles, with Anupam Kher and Sana Khan in supporting roles.

The film has some similarity with an original event in which a 19-year old Priyanka Bharti ran away from her husband's home in 2012,  when there was no toilet.

Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani was all praises for the movie. "Watched trailer of Akshay Kumar's Toilet Ek Prem Katha. Based on true incidents, it promotes Swachh Bharat. Should be made tax free. Super hit," Nihalani had tweeted. 

The National Award winning actor replied by saying: "Thank you so much Pahlaj ji, that's very kind of you."

Akshay's Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is reportedly inspired by the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

It will be the first time that Akshay will be featuring in a film with the Dum Laga Ke Haisha star Bhumi. The project also marks Akshay and actor Anupam Kher's 20th film together.
