Akshay Kumar who shall come out with his debut production, the Indo-Canadian movie ‘Breakaway’ next month on 30th September, 2011, tweeted on a fact he discovered from having spent a lot of time in Canada and the tweet read something like this – ‘Canada has given me something very interesting to think about. If Canadians can celebrate Hockey Day, why can't we Indians support our own national sport and initiate something similar? What are your views?’

The tweet instantly became a rage online and was also picked by major news agencies such as the Press Trust of India (PTI) as well as other online portals. The tweet demonstrated how Akshay Kumar is concerned about the waning importance of the national sport of India, hockey, and with ‘Breakaway’ too being a  cultural-sports drama that revolves around how a young Indian wants to establish himself as an ice-hockey player, Akshay’s anxiety to celebrate our own national sport goes to show that he is ready to go all out to promote the sport.

Khiladi Kumar has quite a lot of achievements to his name already and his latest tweet might soon just create a revolution within the sport industry in the nation.

Breakaway... Culture...Sport & Music!!

The Indo-Canadian culture is existing in Canada for over 100 years. The major inhibitants are Sikhs from Punjab. The Sikh immigrants have faced wide spread identity issues. They even face issues of the locals fearing them to empower more jobs than them which would in return threaten their jobs. There are Indians from all the parts of the world residing in Canada, like Indians from US, Caribbean, Uk, Africa,Middle East, Oceania, etc.

Breakaway is a movie made on similar grounds, which portrays the life of a Sikh family with traditional values and wanting their children to propagate the same culture. It will give you the essence of two extremely distinct cultures with great drama and character quotient. It has a never tried before, Ice Hockey theme with great music composed by Sandeep Chowta and songs by Ludacris & Drake. Akshay Kumar is doing a cameo in the film, as this movie being produced under his production house, Hari Om Productions.
