Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, who will be starring in OMG 2, has decided to postpone the release of the trailer of the upcoming movie today out of respect to the late Nitin Desai. The art director was found dead at his ND Studio in Karjat on Wednesday morning. The trailer will be out tomorrow at 11 am instead.
Akshay Kumar shared the news on his Twitter account and paid his condolences to Desai. He wrote, “Unbelievably sad to know about the demise of Nitin Desai. He was a stalwart in production design and such a big part of our cinema fraternity. He worked on so many of my films… this is a huge loss. Out of respect, we are not releasing the OMG 2 trailer today. Will launch it tomorrow at 11 am. Om Shanti.”
