This is how Akshay Kumar gave back love to his Odisha fans on 2.0 release

Bhubaneswar: While the country is going gaga over the brilliant visual effects in Rajinikanth starrer Robot 2.0 where Akshay Kumar portrays the ornithologist-turned-villain, the latter's fans in Odisha celebrated the release of his film with fanfare.

Odisha Akkians in Bhubaneswar erected a huge cut-out of the Padman of Bollywood at Maharaja Picture Palace and cut a cake shaped as 2.0 to commemorate his latest film release. They also sported T-shirts printed with the 'Pakshiraja' character of Akshay.
