Akshay Kumar, known for his energetic and unconventional promotional strategies, took things up a notch by stepping outside a Mumbai theatre to personally gather public reactions for his latest comedy outing, Housefull 5.

He wore the killer’s mask from Housefull 5 and interviewed people.

He posted a video on his Instagram and wrote, “Bas yun hi I decided to wear the killer mask and interview people coming out of the Housefull5 show at Bandra today. Pakda jaane wala thaa end mein but bhaag gaya us se pehle. Mast experience. (I decided to wear the killer mask and interview people coming out of the Housefull 5 show at Bandra today, just like that. I almost got caught at the end, but I ran before that. Fun experience.)”

In the video, Akshay Kumar is seen blending in with the crowd, dressed casually in a shirt and jeans, and wearing the signature mask from Housefull 5 to stay incognito. Joined by a few others also wearing masks, he casually interacts with moviegoers exiting the theatre, asking them if they enjoyed the film. Interestingly, most people respond positively, unaware that it’s the film’s lead actor himself speaking to them. Towards the end of the clip, one woman appears to recognise him and lights up with excitement, capturing the moment on her phone with a wide smile.

The reactions

One user commented, “How does one not recognise him from his body, body language voice and really just his back ? I wudve known instantly.”

One user replied to this, “It's easy to say here but if someone came up to me in a mask and started asking questions i would get creeped the fuck out. idk how many times I've ignored credit card salesman without noticing their body language lol.”

One user added, “I wud instantly know, u can see its him clearly plus his voice. I mean come on within few seconds if not right away.”

One user reacted, “His voice is more than enough to know that he's akshay lmao.. this looks like paid PR.. the people must've been told that they're gonna be standing there for reviews…”

One user added, “How tf can NOBODY recognize the voice??? I can understand maybe the build and body structure being unrecognizable... but akshay is literally doing nothing to hide his voice... him standing outside a theatre wearing a mask tht literally appears in the movie makes it veryyy sus…”
