Akshay and Bhumi

Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar have been marketing their upcoming movie ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ in an incredible manner. They are not just promoting, but also increasing awareness amongst the audience, regarding the issue. Akshay diligently took up the cause of building 24 toilets in 24 hours and has already done city tours and promoted his movie in the best manner possible.

Now, the two actors have gone a step ahead as they have done a photoshoot with Dabboo Ratnani. In the picture, the two actors are completely covered in toilet paper, standing inside a toilet. Have a look at the picture:

Akshay spoke about using public toilets with a daily by saying, “It seems like yesterday! Back then, life in Mumbai was cleaner with less population and pollution, but there were also fewer toilets to use. As a kid, I remember spending hours looking for a loo when we’d be on the go.” Bhumi added, “I have used public toilets many times. Once I was on a road trip with my parents and on my way back from Goa, we couldn’t find a toilet. I remember knocking on the doors of a random house and requesting them to let me use their toilet.” (Also Read: B-Townies promote Akshay’s ‘TEPK’ in the quirkiest way. Have a look)

Further, when they were asked if they have used a public toilet after becoming actors, Akshay said, “I use public toilets all the time, especially at airports. I even change for events in them. There is one particular toilet I’m looking forward to trying out -the brand new one at Juhu Circle, near my house. When it was opened for public, my staff jumped out of their cars and took photos! They were so happy for the public since it’s the best pit stop before going to the beach.”

When asked if Mumbai needs more of public toilets, here’s what he said, “Our city definitely needs more toilets.Some men love to defecate on the beach and let the waves wash their waste away. These are the same beaches where, in a few weeks’ time, we will see lakhs of people submerging Ganpati idols. When I cornered some individuals on the beach, their first reply was, Why don’t you help us make toilets so we wouldn’t have to come here?’ So, I helped. I can’t just complain and not help.”

Directed by Shree Narayan Singh, produced by KriArj Entertainment, ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ is all set to release on August 11, 2017.
