Akshay Kumar is again eyeing for Independence Day as the release date of his film. The actor on Tuesday revealed that his upcoming flick 'Mission Mangal' will hit the big screens on August 15, 2019. While 'Gold' was Akshay's Independence Day offering this year, in the previous years, 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' and 'Rustom', among others - which released during the same time - have proved to be successful at the box office.

The 51-year-old took to Twitter to announce the date. He wrote, "A powerful true story of ordinary people with extraordinary dreams, on an unheard of mission to achieve the impossible. #MissionMangal will come alive on 15th August, 2019. See you at the theaters. [sic]"
