Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar had to intervene and calm down the crowd during the promotions of his upcoming film Housefull 5 in Pune.

Akshay Kumar visited a mall in the city alongside co-stars Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Soundarya Sharma, and Fardeen Khan on Sunday for an event. But the situation soon went out of control as the excited crowd gathered around to catch a glimpse of the actors.

In videos that have surfaced online, a lady can be seen crying, while another individual complained of breathlessness while trying to make his way out of the crowd.

Akshay Kumar took over the microphone to address the situation and requested the public not to push and stay calm.

“You will have to leave. Don’t push… I am requesting with folded hands as women and children are present here. I request everyone,” he is heard saying in the video.
