First Look Poster Of Akshay Kumar As Lord Shiva From Kannappa Unveiled On His Birthday
In the poster, Akshay is seen wearing a white dhoti, holding a trishul (trident) and a damru (small hand drum), capturing the essence of Lord Shiva. His portrayal also includes the blue throat that symbolises Shiva drinking poison to protect the world. The poster reflects strength and devotion, truly embodying the character.
