Speaking to reporters, Akshay said, “According to international agencies like the CIA or Mossad, women are the best spies in the world. You can even ask any husband and no, this is not a joke, it is a fact. We men are very good with gadgets. But women have an inbuilt antenna in them. Taapsee has it too. I don’t know how they do it but they find out things in a snap. It is the best kept secret.”

He says that the movie has a special message for all husbands to “not pick up fights with them as they get to know everything.” In ‘Naam Shabana’, Akshay will reprise his character of Ajay Singh Rajput which is a spin-off to the 2015 flick ‘Baby’.

Talking about the movie he says, “Till today whatever spy films have been made in India, the making of a a spy has not been shown. We always show them as if they were born-spies. ‘Naam Shabana’ is all about that.”

‘Naam Shabana’ is helmed by Neeraj Pandey and also features Manoj Bajpayee, Anupam Kher, Danny Denzongpa and Prithviraj Sukumaran in important roles.
