MUMBAI: Akshay Kumar may have been declared the King but the superstar claims not to forget his humble beginnings.

And he is there for his dosts whenever they need him. That’s why he was present in all his josh at the premiere of Maan Gaye Mughl-E-Azam , all for friend Sanjay Chel who directed the film.

Chel and Akki are known to go back a long way. In fact, Sanjay has penned dialogues for many of Akshay’s films. So while Mallika Sherawat — the heroine of the film — stayed away from the shutterbugs on her own premiere day, Khiladi Kumar interacted coolly with the media, without the crown, throne, and kingly tantrums. Hurrah!
