The Bollywood superstar who goes by the nickname Khiladi Kumar is being honoured with a ‘Katana’ at a ceremony in Mumbai. The renowned Shihan Hirano Osamu, Grandmaster and founder of the Kuyukai International and Mehul Vora, the organiser of the first invitational National Open Karate Championship will honour Akshay with a ‘Katana’ and a sixth degree Black Belt in Kuyukai Gojuryu Karate.
Akki, who is a martial arts expert, is thrilled to be receiving the ‘Katana’, which is the highest honour amongst the Japanese and it is a tradition practiced among Samurai.
Says the superstar, “It’s a privilege to be receiving this honour. Karate is a part of my soul and to be honoured with something as precious as a ‘Katana’ is something I hadn’t even dreamt of.” Says a source from Kuyukai International, “Akshay has always portrayed martial arts in a good light. Many a times he has tried to incorporate martial stunts in his films as well, keeping the tradition alive.”
