Akshay Kumar seems to have cashed in on the speculations around India's name change to Bharat. On Wednesday, the actor dropped the motion poster of his new film Mission Raniganj but fans noticed the altered references to Bharat in his Instagram post.

Mission Raniganjinitially had the taglineThe Great Indian Rescue. However, now that Akshay revealed the final title with the motion poster on Wednesday, the internet couldn't help but notice how the tentative title made it to the poster right below the final title, but with an interesting alteration.

The Great Indian Rescuewas replaced by The Great Bharat Rescue.

The change comes at a time when the country is contemplating renaming India to Bharat. Kumar and the makers clearly cashed in on the ongoing discussion that is happening online.

Not just this, an Instagram user pointed out that originally, Akshay wrote in the caption, “Watch the story of India’s true hero…” But it was soon edited to “Bharat's true hero.” The comment read, “Great Indian rescue ko toh Great Bharat Rescue kar diya par caption mein phir bhi *India's* likh diya (He changed Great Indian Rescue to Great Bharat Rescue but the caption still says ‘India’s').” The user then replied to his own comment, “haha kiya change abhi (haha he changed it just now).”

Another user commented, “Yaha bhi Bharat (Bharat here as well) (thinking emoji).” Another wrote, “Sir Chandrayan 3 pe movie kab a rhaa hai (Sir when is the movie on Chandrayaan 3 coming)."
