Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta feels that Akshay Kumar's stardom is such that he can draw viewers to sensible cinema like the actor's forthcoming Baby, which deals with terrorism.
Sanjay Gupta, who's working on his own film Jazbaa these days, posted on Twitter:
'BABY' is a fantastic step in the right direction by Akshay Kumar. He is a super star who can turn the tide in favor of sensible cinema.

Sanjay Gupta has high hopes from the movie, which revolves around a story of the common man in India, who face threats from terrorists and how the government tries to prevent such attacks.
He added:
I hope and pray 'BABY' works. They haven't gone overboard with their promotions intentionally on Akshay's say so. Smart & gutsy move.
