Superstar Akshay Kumar has donated Rs 1.5 crore for building home for transgenders, an initiative started by his Laxmmi Bomb director Raghav Lawrence’s charitable trust.
Filmmaker Raghava Lawrence took to Facebook on Sunday to announce that he is building a transgender home in Chennai, claiming it to be the “first time in India”, for which Akshay has donated Rs 1.5 crores. Raghava wrote in the post that it was during their film Laxmmi Bomb’s shoot that Akshay got to know about his initiative to help the community.
“I
consider everyone who helps as god, so now Akshay kumar sir is a god for us. I thank him for lending his huge support for this project. Our trust’s next vision is to uplift transgenders and provide shelter for them all over India with Akshay Kumar’s sir support. I thank him in behalf of all transgenders,” the director posted on Facebook.
Laxmmi Bomb is a remake of 2011’s Tamil horror comedy Kanchana.
Produced by Cape of Good Films, Fox Star Studios, Tusshar Kapoor and Shabina Khan, the movie also features Kiara Advani.
