The atmosphere at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport was electric earlier today as Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar was spotted interacting with fans before his departure. The actor, known for his affable demeanor, took time to pose for photographs and exchange pleasantries, causing a flurry of excitement among onlookers.

Kumar, dressed in a casual blue shirt and denim jeans, was seen navigating through the airport terminal, accompanied by his security personnel. Despite the presence of his security detail, Kumar made it a point to engage with fans who approached him. Witnesses reported that he patiently obliged selfie requests, creating a memorable experience for many.

Videos and images circulating on social media captured the actor's interactions, drawing praise from fans for his down-to-earth attitude. In one video, Kumar can be heard telling his security to allow fans to approach, saying "Chhod na yaar (let it be, man)", as excited fans respectfully took selfies. This gesture has been widely applauded, with many online users calling him "humble" and "large-hearted".

This isn't the first time Kumar's interactions with fans have made headlines. Back in October, a video went viral showing the actor asking a fan to remove his hand while taking a selfie at the same airport. Kumar politely requested the fan to not put his hand on his shoulder.

On the professional front, Kumar has been busy with several projects. He recently announced the commencement of shooting for "Bhoot Bangla", a horror-comedy directed by Priyadarshan, which is slated for release on April 2, 2026. This film marks a reunion for the actor and director after 14 years, having previously worked together on hit films such as "Bhagam Bhag," "Bhool Bhulaiyaa," and "De Dana Dan". The film has generated immense anticipation. The movie will be produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, and Akshay Kumar’s production house, Cape of Good Films.

Kumar was also seen attending the 70th Filmfare Awards 2025 with Gujarat Tourism.

In other news, the Bombay High Court recently issued an order favouring Kumar against the unauthorized use of his image in deepfake videos and AI-generated content. The court is preventing individuals from exploiting his persona without consent.

The actor's airport appearance served as a reminder of his widespread popularity and his connection with his fans. As he walked towards his gate, Kumar waved to the gathered crowd, leaving behind a trail of excited chatter and lasting impressions.
