Folks, it's Akshay Kumar's birthday. The actor turns 56 today. Akshay Kumar kickstarted the day by visiting the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain to seek the almighty's blessings. He was accompanied by Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, son Aarav, and niece Naomika Saran. Meanwhile, wishes are pouring in from all corners of the world. The best one is certainly from his good friend Ajay Devgn. The actor shared a photograph of himself and the birthday boy on X (formerly Twitter). FYI: The still is from Akshay's film Sooryavanshi. With a subtle hint to Sooryavanshi and a shout-out to Akshay Kumar's upcoming film Mission Raniganj, Ajay Devgn wrote, “Kabhi helicopter se latak ke, kabhi coal mine mein ghuske [Sometimes he is hanging from the helicopter, sometimes he gets inside a coal mine]... If you are in need of rescue, contact Akshay Kumar. Wishing you success for all your missions this year brother. Happy Birthday!”

Ajay Devgn's helicopter remark is not a surprise to those who have watched Sooryavanshi. During the shooting of the Rohit Shetty directorial, Akshay Kumar also shared glimpses of him "casually hanging" off a helicopter. Sharing the pic, Akshay Kumar wrote, "Casually hanging off a helicopter... Just another day on the sets of Sooryavanshi. Do not try this on your own. All stunts are performed under expert supervision."
