Akshay Kumar took to Twitter to announce that BMC has revived its official handle.
Mumbaikars are battling the after-effects of torrential rain. From waterlogging to heavy traffic jams, the past few weeks have been difficult for the Maximum City residents. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), for easier communication with people, has revived its Twitter handle, and actor Akshay Kumar took to the platform to spread the word. However, seems like the announcement did not go well with Twitterati.
The 'Padman' actor tweeted, "The BMC is now on twitter as @mybmc, you can now tweet your suggestions/ grievances to BMC directly and get them addressed. Try it now to make your voice heard directly."

Responding to the tweet, trolls went on the same trip as they did earlier this year and slammed the actor for holding a Canadian passport. While some trolled the actor by posting memes, others were not so kind. Some also went on to watermark the actor's face with the Canadian flag, while others wrote, "Why should a Canadian give advice to Indians?"

In May this year, the '2.0' star broke his silence against trolls who targeted him over citizenship issues. Through a long post, the actor said that the issue is "personal and of no consequence to others". The actor also said that he did not visit Canada in seven years and paid all taxes in India.
On the work front, the actor recently wrapped up shoot for his upcoming film 'Good News' with 'Aitraaz' co-star Kareena Kapoor.

"I found this a nice character. I don't think we have done a film like this... you know, a space film," added the star, who made her debut as a lead actress with Kannada film "7 O'Clock" over a decade ago.

The year 2018 also saw veteran actress Supriya Pathak making her debut in Telugu filmdom with "Aravindha Sametha Veera Raghava", helmed by Trivikram Srinivas.
"I really enjoyed working with the people. It was wonderful. My director was a wonderful person. I hope I get an opportunity to work there again," said the actress, who had starred in the 1985 Malayalam movie "Akalathe Ambili".
"Those days, a lot of Hindi films were made in south India. Then also, it was much more organised than in Mumbai or north India. My idea of south (Indian film industry) was always that it was more organised and that attracts you because it has got discipline. People are professionals and, still, there is a kind of basic emotion surrounding it and very work-oriented," said Supriya, whose mother tongue is Gujarati.
