Akshay Kumar is currently busy promoting his recently released film Jolly LLB 3, and the actor will be a guest on the season 3 finale of The Great Indian Kapil Show. The episode will feature Kapil’s humour along with Akshay Kumar’s quirk, and it’s going to be all things fun. On the show, Kumar will credit the stuntmen who have been a crucial part of his journey.
As a fresh promo shared on social media shows, Akshay calls all the stuntmen present and chit-chats with them. In the promo, the actor shares, “I consider myself a stuntman first and then an actor. I do stunts because of them, and they wouldn’t let me get even a small scratch. To me, they are the real heroes; inki wajah se mera career hai.”

Akshay Kumar shares a very close bond with stuntmen, and he always says that he considers himself a stuntman first and then an actor. Recently, in a heartfelt gesture, Akshay Kumar insured 650 stuntmen following the shocking news of the tragic death of stuntman SM Raju on the set of Pa Ranjith and Arya’s upcoming Tamil film.
After Akshay insured the lives of about 650 to 700 stuntmen, veteran stunt professional Vikram Singh Dahiya, known for his work in films like Dhadak 2, Jigra, Gunjan Saxena, Antim, and OMG 2, expressed his appreciation for Akshay’s gesture.
“Thanks to Akshay sir, around 650 to 700 stuntmen and action crew members in Bollywood are now covered under insurance,” he said. “The policy includes both health and accident coverage. If a stunt performer is injured, whether on or off set, they can avail of cashless medical treatment up to ₹5 to ₹5.5 lakh.”
