Wheel Of Fortune New Promo: Akshay Kumar Promises A Hilarious Game Show Filled With His Classic Humour And Charm

Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) announced in December last year that it is bringing Emmy-winning game show Wheel of Fortune to India, with Akshay Kumar hosting it. A new promo from the game show was unveiled yesterday, with Akshay returning with his classic humour and charm.

In the promo, we see Akshay sitting beside the bed of an old man who is unwell. As he checks his temperature, he calls a person named Vicky and asks him to bring Dr. Suraj Kumar immediately. In the next scene, Vicky brings a beaten-up doctor. When Akshay asks who did this to him, the doctor says Vicky has thrashed him. “Aapne bola that jaldi Dr. Suraj Kumar ko le aa. Haan toh ji le toh aaya hoon. Maarta maarta hi toh laaya hai,” Vicky says in the promo.

Akshay turns to the camera and says, "Shabdon ki galatphemi, kar sakti hain behremi."

When the doctor checks on the patient, he screams, “Tauji chal basse.” Vicky mishears it as ‘Chal bus se’, and asks, “Kaunsi bus se?” When Akshay orders another wrestler, ‘Maar’, he runs to beat the former up. The misunderstandings turn into a hilarious ride. Wheel of Fortune, hosted by Akshay, promises a fun game show.
