Wheel of Fortune new promo unveiled

In the promo, Akshay demands his hired goon bring Dr. Suraj Kumar soon. Almost in the next instance, the goon named Vicky brings a beaten up doctor. He heard Dr. Suraj ku maar ke jaldi le aa (to beat up Dr. Suraj and bring him to the house). “Haan toh ji le toh aaya hoon. Maarta maarta hi toh laaya hai,” Vicky said in the promo.

Just as the doctor checks on the patient, he announces, “Tauji chal basse.” Vicky, once again mishearing it as ‘Chal bus se’, asks, “Kaunsi bus se?” Another wrestler gets an order – ‘Maar’ and runs to beat up Akshay. The roller-coaster of misunderstandings turn the promo into a hilarious and mad ride, one which is completely Akshay style of humour.
