Akshay Kumar gets praise from Hollywood for latest film

Akshay Kumar is getting praise from the world over for his latest film called Toilet: Ek Prem Katha which released last week. The movie talks about the problem of open defecation-a practice which is prevalent in India, and results in many diseases and social evils.

Praises have also been pouring in all the way from Hollywood as actors appreciated Kumar’s role in the movie and also the fact that it highlighted such an important issue plaguing India.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Hollywood actor Matt Damon said the following words for Kumar and the movie;

“It’s great to have stars like Akshay and films like Toilet: Ek Prem Kathaspotlighting the open defecation crisis, as it helps to drive more awareness of not only the issues but also what can be done to tackle this and create change,” said the Matt who co-founded water.org, an aid organisation focused on universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation to people in developing countries.

“Our organisation, Water.org, is dedicated to ending open defecation globally,” he said.

Having traveled to India in 2013, The Departed actor spoke of witnessing the effects of open defecation.

“I have seen first-hand the devastating effects on health, the threat to women and children, and the contamination of safe drinking water from open defecation. It’s clear to me that a person cannot thrive and reach their full potential without first having access to safe water to drink, and the dignity of a sanitary toilet.”

Damon is not the only one who appreciated Kumar for the movie. Earlier this month Salma Hayek also gave a shout-out to Kumar for his film and tweeted; “Good luck to Akshay Kumar on ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ out today! End open defecation now! No woman should fear going to the toilet!”
