It’s a matter of national
pride. A record that was held by none other than the Messiah of Music, Michael
Jackson, has finally been shattered. People across the country can now
celebrate because the new record holder is apna desi superstar Akshay Kumar.
Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’
held the Guinness World Record for being the largest poster in the world. That
is until Akshay’s forthcoming film BOSS decided to beat the record.
Akshay’s fan club, which calls
itself Team Akshay, decided to swing into action. Logistics were put into place
and work had begun to make a special poster of BOSS that would be the largest
poster in the world.
After four months of labour,
the dream finally came true. The largest poster in the world was achieved and
unveiled at Little Gransden Airfield, Little Gransden, UK, on October 03, 2013.
Macro Arts (UK) did the manufacturing of the poster. Incidentally, Macro Arts
is the same company that had made Michael Jackson’s poster too.
The world’s largest poster of
BOSS is 58.87 metres wide and 54.94 metres high. When the Guinness officials
came to measure it, it was recorded that the Indian BOSS poster had beaten
Michael Jackson’s record by a 15-20 percent margin.
The official certification for
the same was done in the UK itself and the BOSS poster also finds a mention on
the official Guinness website.
The Boss himself, Akshay Kumar,
says he feels humbled with this achievement. "It's a matter of
honour," he says. "I thank everyone who made this possible." The
producer of BOSS, Ashwin Varde, adds, “Every Indian should be proud of this
achievement.”
