While promoting Kesari Chapter 2 at a special event in Mumbai, Akshay Kumar was joined by Karan Johar. Ananya Panday, who is also the lead actress in the film, was late for the promotions. When she arrived, Akshay, who was addressing the media, asked everybody to welcome her and said, "Vese aapko batadun ke woh shooting kar rahi thi aur shooting se seedhe aayi hain, toh I can understand. Thank you very much (Let me tell you, she was shooting for her film and came here straight from the sets)."

When Karan Johar added, "Woh bhi hamari film hai to main kuch keh bhi nahi sakta (That is also our film, so I can't even say anything), Akshay came up with a hilarious comeback and said, "Agar kisi aur ki bhi hoti to kya keh lete (You couldn't have been able to say anything even if it was someone else's film)."
