Akshay Kumar Blesses Ansh Duggal After Nakhrewaalii Trailer
Akshay Kumar publicly wished debutant Ansh Duggal after the Nakhrewaalii trailer, telling him he hopes he becomes a big star before the October 30 release.
A debut film can feel like a lonely wait. For Ansh Duggal, the run-up to Nakhrewaalii just got a very public dose of goodwill from one of Bollywood’s biggest stars.
A blessing in the public eye
Akshay Kumar shared a warm note after watching the Nakhrewaalii trailer, telling the newcomer he had a great time and hoping he becomes a big star. “Maza aa gaya Ansh!! Mahadev karen tu bohot bada star bane,” Akshay wrote, before urging him to keep working hard and wishing the team luck.
Ansh’s response read like a fan who could not quite believe the moment. He said he did not know what to say, called it a very big deal, and added, “Dil se nikli hui dua dil tak pohchti hai.” The debutant also made the moment larger than cinema, telling Akshay that while only a superstar can wish for more stars, he hoped to become a person like him.
The film at a glance
Nakhrewaalii pairs Ansh Duggal with Pragati Srivastava in a romantic comedy that, as the makers put it, carries a “Womantic” twist on love, relationships and gender dynamics.
- Leads: Ansh Duggal and Pragati Srivastava

- Release date: October 30, 2026, in cinemas
Why this shoutout lands
For a debutant, a big-star endorsement does two jobs at once. It brings a new name to an established fan base, and it gives the newcomer a visible vote of confidence days before the box-office test. That does not guarantee a hit, but it can turn a quiet arrival into a conversation.
The exchange also felt personal rather than promotional. Akshay wrote as a senior artist blessing a beginner, and Ansh replied with gratitude that seemed unscripted. That warmth is exactly what makes celebrity moments travel on social feeds.
A debut can change in one post. With Nakhrewaalii releasing on October 30, the exchange landed when the team needs fresh eyes on the trailer. A star’s post can sit in thousands of feeds within minutes, but it is most useful when it gives audiences a reason to look at the person carrying the film. Ansh’s reply also did its job: it kept the conversation warm and made the debutant feel relatable.
Days like this do not predict box-office numbers. They do, however, tell audiences that the industry is watching, and that can be enough to earn a first film a second look.
