Bollywood star Akshay Kumar finally broke his silence on his upcoming film Kannappa clashing with Kajol's film Maa on June 27. The actor tagged Ajay Devgn, who is the producer of Maa, and wished him good luck for the film with a heartfelt note.
Akshay took to his X handle on Tuesday and penned a special note for his 'bhai' Ajay and Kajol. "Yaar Ajay hum dono ki picture aa rahi hai iss Friday. Tu apne fans ki good wishes #Kannappa ko bhej de aur main mere Mahadev ki blessing #Maa ko. Kya bolta hai? (sic)," he wrote.

He also shared the trailer of Maa on his X handle, and netizens lauded his gesture for his contemporaries.
Kannappa vs Maa
Both Kannappa and Maa are set to release in theatres this Friday, and interestingly, both of them have their roots in mythology. Kannappa tells the story of an atheist who becomes the most devout follower of Lord Shiva after facing certain situations in life.
While Vishnu Manchu plays the lead in the film, Akshay will be seen essaying the role of Lord Shiva in Kannappa. The film also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Prabhas, Mohanlal and others in key roles.
Maa, on the other hand, is a mythological horror drama, highlighting the lengths to which a mother can go to save her daughter from the clutches of some dark other-worldly forces. The film explores the themes of mother's love and Kajol will also be seen channelling the fury of Maa Kali to save her daughter.
