Karan Johar announces name of Akshay's leading lady in Kesari
What's the story
Karan Johar took to Twitter to announce the name of the leading lady of his upcoming film 'Kesari' with Akshay Kumar, but with a major blooper. He announced the name of Parineeti Chopra but wrongfully shared the picture of Akshay Kumar while disclosing the name. Here's what happened.
Details
This is what Karan wrote
Announcing the name of his leading lady, Karan tweeted, "The lead actress in #KESARI is ........Parineeti Chopra! @ParineetiChopra (sic)," with an image of Akshay Kumar's look in the film. Twitterati obviously picked up his blooper in seconds and started the customary troll session of Karan Johar. However, he quickly rectified his mistake by posting another tweet.
