Akshay Kumar asks for permission before posing for the paps with R Madhavan

Bollywood stars R. Madhavan and Akshay Kumar were recently seen on Monday morning at Mumbai's private airport as they left to promote Kesari Chapter 2, their eagerly awaited historical drama. However, it was Akshay Kumar's considerate act that captured hearts on the internet, not just their presence.

Paparazzi greeted the duo as they got closer to the airport gate, yelling for a brief photo opportunity. Following protocol, Akshay paused and politely asked a CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) officer stationed at the entrance if photography was allowed at that location.

The officer was apprehensive at first, but after Akshay politely clarified that they would keep it short, he nodded. After politely posing for individual and group photos, the actors entered.
