Manoj Bajpayee: Didn't even know Akshay Kumar had postponed Padman

Manoj Bajpayee

Manoj Bajpayee came under the spotlight yesterday for apparently taking a dig at Akshay Kumar's decision to postpone Pad Man, to avoid locking horns with Padmaavat. He retweeted a tweet, which translated to: "Take the fear of crushing, then say that we made way." Bajpayee, who deleted his tweet soon after, says his approval of the statement had little to do with Kumar. "I retweeted a journalist friend's statement and soon after realised that fans of Akshay Kumar were trolling me. I didn't even know he had postponed his film. It was a mere coincidence," says Bajpayee.
