The Viralness Of Akshay Kumar's Toilet: Ek Prem Katha Trailer

New Delhi: Actor Akshay Kumar's happiness level is '100 %' because the trailer of his new film, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, is a super hit. The film's trailer has been viewed more than 11 million times on Facebook making it the "highest viewed Bollywood trailer" on the social networking site, tweeted Akshay Kumar. The trailer of Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, which spreads awareness about sanitation and the importance of building toilets, has recorded 11.5 million views on YouTube too. The trailer of Toilet: Ek Prem Katha released on Sunday. The Shree Narayan Singh-directed film also stars Dum Laga Ke Haisha actress Bhumi Pednekar.

Jaya (Bhumi Pednekar) is asked to join the 'lota party' soon after she gets married to Keshav (Akshay Kumar). Jaya challenged the old societal norms but eventually leaves her husband's home. Thereafter, Keshav starts a battle against open defecation by building toilets. He struggles to change the mindset of his father, who believes that the 'Tulsi' (a sacred plant) and a toilet cannot exist in the same premises.
