The Rajasthan Police used Akshay Kumar’s dialogue from the film, “Puri duniya se kaho ‘copy that!’” (Tell the entire world ‘copy that’!). The tweet encourages vehicle owners to either wear a helmet or seat belt and abide by traffic rules.

Wear #helmet⛑ & #seatbelt💺 while driving🚘 & follow #TrafficRules!

The film is directed by Jagan Shakti, and produced by Cape of Good Films and Fox Star Studios. R Balki, who directed Kumar in Padman, is also a producer on Mission Mangal.

Mission Mangal is scheduled to release on 15 August and will clash with John Abraham’s Batla House.
