We all know when it comes to fan base, Bollywood's hit and fit actor Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia (Oops! Scratching your heads? Om Bhatia is none other than Akshay Kumar) is second to none. With numerous fan groups across the country, this group from Odisha which considers Akshay Kumar as their God has been a class apart, and able to draw his attention on the way they shower their love on him. Yes, Odisha Akkians is a trending name now in the State.
Not that this club is only fond of his acting and filmy career, they love him more as a person as they say he has inspired them in many ways.
The Akkians consider Kumar as their fitness icon. “His contribution towards the society, his films on social issues, and an actor with no controversies, Akshay Sir is the best,” is what the proud Odisha Akkians say.
Formed by Sidhant Swain in 2016 with only six members, this group now has 90 odd members who throng theatres together for the first screening of every Akki movie.
In their language, if it's Akshay Sir's movie, it has to be FDFS (First Day First Show). For them, it's no less than a festival. Tall posters, huge banners, cake cuttings, and many things mark the celebrations during every release.
“When ur star is in the costliest film of the country then the celebration needs to be the best. It's a festival time for all Akkians,” tweeted Odisha Akkians after a grand 2.0 FDFS celebration at the Maharaja Hall in Bhubaneswar.

“We celebrate Akshay Sir's birthday in a grand manner. Everytime, we visit different orphanages, spend some time to celebrate with them, cut cakes along with sharing one-time food. We have never missed his movie's first show on the day of its release,” says an ardent fan of Akki, Debaprasad Das.
Not only this, the youngsters also join hands in sweeping and cleaning the streets of the capital city during every Swachch Bharat programme.
