Mumbai: Superstar Akshay Kumar has donated Rs 1.5 crore for building a home for transgenders, an initiative started by his “Laxmmi Bomb” director Raghav Lawrence’s charitable trust. Lawrence took to Facebook to thank the 52-year-old Bollywood actor.

“Our trust is now entering into its 15th year. We wanted to celebrate this 15th year by initiating a new project for uplifting transgenders by providing shelter for them. Our trust has provided the land and we were looking forward to raising funds for the building, so during ‘Laxmmi Bomb’ shoot, I was talking to Akshay sir about the trust projects and transgender’s home, immediately after hearing this without even me asking he told he will donate 1.5 cores for building transgender’s home.

“I consider everyone who helps as a 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 provides shelter for them all over India with Akshay Kumar’s sir support. I thank him on behalf of all transgenders,” the director posted on Facebook.

Producer Shabina Khan took to her Instagram Stories to share the news.

“It’s a wrap on ‘Laxmmi Bomb’… Missed you @kiaraaliaadvani. Thank you everyone. See you in the cinemas 22:05:2020,” Khan captioned a picture from the wrap party.

The film is the Hindi remake of the 2011 Tamil horror-comedy “Kanchana”.

Directed by Raghav Lawrence, who also helmed the original, the movie also stars Ashwini Kalsekar, Sharad Kelkar, Manu Rishi, and Ayesha Raza.

“Laxmmi Bomb” is also produced by Cape of Good Films, Fox Star Studios, and Tusshar Kapoor.
