But regarding “Mission Raniganj,” everyone who has seen the film, be it critics, media, or the general public, has praised Akshay Sir and the other actors. I would tell people to watch the film once, and then you will say how you liked it. Akshay Sir has a long way to go, and he’s doing great in whatever he is doing. Today, you can take examples from Amitabh Bachchan sir and Rajnikanth sir, who are still working in the film industry. Akshay Sir is not going to stop.”
