Oscars nominees such as Lady Gaga, Rami Malek, Viggo Mortenson, Yalitza Aparicio and Glenn Close stand to experience an elite ₹9.5 lakh axe-throwing event as part of their gift bag.

It seems that axe-throwing is the latest gaming trend that is sweeping the US. The experiential sport will even get the VIP treatment at the 2019 Oscars, with a $13,500 ( 9.5 lakh) gift certificate from Kick Axe Brooklyn, which is New York City’s first axe-throwing bar.

Speaking about it to The Hollywood Reporter, Kick Axe founder and owner Ginger Flesher-Sonnier said, "It allows for stress relief and that combination is perfect for relaxation--to let loose, enjoy yourself, and even get a little exercise."
