While I appreciate his enthusiasm, I hope Siddharth Anand doesn't just recycle the same massy formula for King. Akshay Oberoi is a talented actor who did well in OTT shows too. The industry needs to give him more varied roles, not just patriotic action dramas.

Bas itna batao, release date kya hai? 😂 After Fighter and Pathaan, Sid Anand knows how to deliver a spectacle. If Akshay Oberoi is in a good role, it's a win-win for everyone. Indian cinema needs more such collaborative spirit!

It's refreshing to see an actor openly acknowledge a director's trust and mentorship. Akshay Oberoi has been doing the rounds for a while, and it's good that Sid Anand is giving him a boost. King seems like it could be the next big thing. Let's hope the script is as solid as the cast! 🤞

Mujhe toh Fighter bahut pasand aayi thi! The action sequences were top-notch. If King has that same energy and scale with SRK, it's going to be a blockbuster. Akshay Oberoi is a smart actor to latch onto a successful director like Anand. Smart move.

The confidence he's talking about is visible in his recent interviews. Akshay Oberoi has really grown as a performer in the last couple of years. I just hope King isn't another high-budget action film where his role gets overshadowed. Give him some meaty dialogues, Sid!
