Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has said Salman Khan’s video promoting the former’s forthcoming movie Rustom is proof of the spirit of unity in the film industry. “He did it on his own. It shows we are all united. Around 180 films are made in the industry (in a year) and many are left incomplete. We are not race horses that we have to push forward and show one-upmanship,” Akshay said.
