The recently launched road safety advertisement that features Ram Setu has been received with significant opposition. Recent advertisements for road safety that include Akshay Kumar have been received with controversy on the internet due to the prevalent opinion that these advertisements support the practice of dowry. Akshay Kumar has made several appearances in ads to increase public awareness.
Recently, the actor took part in a public service broadcast about safe driving in which he portrayed a law enforcement officer. The topic of the announcement was driving safety. In the advertisement, Akshay pulls over the bride’s father when he is driving her to her new house so that he may ask him about the number of airbags in the vehicle. A few lines later, he emphasises the significance of fitting no less than six airbags in every car to protect the occupants of the vehicle in the case of an accident.
Due to the common notion that advertising encourages dowry, it has been the object of significant criticism on social media in recent days. A very tiny but vociferous segment of the population on the internet has urged for the immediate withdrawal and banning of the advertisement.
The movies Ram Setu, OH My God 2, Selfiee, a remake of Soorarai Pottru, Capsule Gill, and Bade Miya Chote Miyan are also part of his oeuvre. Diwali will mark the first day of the release of this year’s Ram Setu, which stars not only Nushratt Bharuccha but also Jacqueline Fernandez.
In 2022, Akshay had three movies released, and none of them fared well at the box office. These movies were Bachchhan Pandey, Samrat Prithviraj, and Raksha Bandhan. At this juncture, all eyes are focused on Ram Setu as the primary topic of discussion.
