Dressed in a crisp red sari with golden border and standing next to a Goddess Durga idol, Akshay looks intimidating.
Navratri said his new role was all about "bowing to the inner goddess" and celebrating "limitless strength." He tweeted: “… On this auspicious occasion, I am sharing with you my look as Laxmmi. A character I am both excited and nervous about... but then life begins at the end of our comfort zone...isn’t it?”

You have gone pass all the parameters of an actor to do this stuff & All i can see is this is gonna be different & one of a kind role which wasn't enacted from any A - Listers of Bollywood."

The film is a Hindi remake of the 2011 Tamil horror comedy Muni 2: Kanchana. It’s about the timid-natured Raghav, who suffers from a fear of ghosts and undergoes a personality transformation after being possessed by the spirit of a transgender person named Laxmmi.
