According to reports by HT City, Akshay, known for his punctuality, arrived on set around 2:15 PM, but Salman’s delayed arrival clashed with Akshay’s scheduled test screenings for Jolly LLB 3. After waiting for an hour, Akshay reportedly left, despite multiple calls requesting him to return.
Directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Kapur, Sky Force is set for release on January 24, just ahead of Republic Day. The action-packed thriller stars Akshay Kumar as an Air Force officer on a revenge mission. The film also features Veer Pahariya, Sara Ali Khan, and Nimrat Kaur.
