Akshay Kumar took to Twitter to announce that he has tested positive for Covid-19. The actor, who was set to attend the Cannes Film Festival 2022 in France, will now skip the event.


Akshay Kumar tweeted, ''Was really looking forward to rooting for our cinema at the India Pavilion at #Cannes2022, but have sadly tested positive for Covid. Will rest it out. Loads of best wishes to you and your entire team,@ianuragthakur. Will really miss being there.''


This is the second time that Akshay has tested positive for Covid-19. Earlier, during the shoot of Ram Setu, the actor and many from the crew had tested positive leading to the shoot being cancelled in April 2021.
