MID-DAY (July 1, 2016)

Hrithik Roshan took to Twitter yesterday to congratulate Akshay Kumar on his upcoming film, Rustom, whose trailer was unveiled yesterday. The star tweeted, “Congrats @akshaykumar . Loved the #rustom trailer. Good choices maketh d man. I’m sure u agree @mrsfunnybones :) God bless.” Mrsfunnybones is Akki’s wife Twinkle Khanna’s Twitter handle.

The tweet came as a surprise since Akshay’s Rustom and Hrithik’s Mohenjo Daro are slated to clash at the box office this Independence Day. Usually, when battling it out at the BO, Bollywood gets all charged up with teams of rival films constantly trying to outdo each other. But Hrithik’s tweet has clearly set an example for industry folk.
