Akshay Kumar’s Ghis Ghis Track Shocks Fans

The Bhojpuri film industry has often faced criticism for its lack of aesthetic restraint. It is therefore surprising that Akshay Kumar has chosen to feature in a suggestive Bhojpuri song alongside Bhojpuri star Akshara Singh for his forthcoming film Welcome To The Jungle.

In the track Ghis Ghis (meaning “rub rub”), Akshay’s energetic dance moves and revealing costume have drawn considerable attention on social media.

The lyrics... — roughly translated as “I will bathe you with soap, sting your lips like a bee, and celebrate youth passionately” — have shocked many fans on seeing the actor in such a provocative avatar on screen.

On some level, the move reflects Akshay Kumar’s search for a major commercial success. His recent releases, including Bhooth Bangla, failed to make a strong impact at the box office. Earlier films like Kanappa, Sky Force, Housefull 5, and Jolly LLB 3 also received a lukewarm response.

Against this backdrop, Akshay’s foray into a raunchy Bhojpuri-style dance number has triggered intense debate online.
