The 49-year-old actor took to Twitter and wrote, "Every actor has one film which means the world to him... @AirliftFilm is just that for me! #1YearOfAirlift."
Akshay played an NRI businessman based in Kuwait, who carries out a rescue operation of fellow Indians in the country during its invasion launched by Saddam Hussein's Iraq in the Raja Krishna Menon-directed film.
The film, which also featured Nimrat Kaur, had released last year on January 22 in India.
