“I urge the government to make it (martial arts) compulsory for boys and girls. I look forward to that day where every student compulsorily learns martial arts in schools for at least three years and martial arts becomes more famous than cricket. It is my dream,” Akshay Kumar said during a workshop on Russian knife fighting technique called Tolpar. Also in the photo: ATS Chief Himanshu Roy and Mukti Foundation chairman Smita Thackeray.
