Mumbai:
Actor Akshay Kumar feels that like Canada, India too should celebrate a Hockey Day.
"Canada has given me something very interesting to think about. If Canadians can celebrate Hockey Day, why can't we Indians support our own national sport and initiate something similar? What are your views?" Akshay wrote on Twitter.
Akshay is making debut as a producer of a Hollywood film -- Breakaway -- which is a cross-cultural hockey drama set in the Indo-Canadian community in Toronto, Canada.
Directed by Robert Lieberman, Breakaway is about a young Indian ice hockey player caught between family's traditional expectations and his dream to make it big in the national sport of his adopted country.
Real-life hockey player Vinay Virmani debuts in the movie in the lead role.
