MUMBAI : Akshay Kumar's upcoming film Laxmmi Bomb will be releasing on Disney Plus Hotstar. A few moments back, Akshay along with a few more Bollywood celebs concluded a virtual press conference, announcing the release of their films with its latest posters, on the platform. However, the exact dates of these films have not been revealed yet. 

While talking about his film, Laxmmi Bomb, Akshay recalled the time when he had to wear saree and shoot. According to the actor that itself was an experience to remember. 

"In one word, I'd say it's quite graceful and also, the most comfortable outfit in the world. Saree pehna apne aap mein experience tha. Initially, I couldn't walk and kaafi baar while shooting, saree khul bhi jaati thi. Thankfully, my dress dada was always ready for my rescue. But I think one should experience this," said Akshay. 

The actor also added that he has immense respect for women who drape a saree. Akshay said, "Hats off to the Indian women who wear it so beautifully."
