Fans notice Ashutosh Rana's scream 'rip-off' in Akshay Kumar's 'Laxmi Bomb'; see reactions

On Friday, Akshay Kumar released the much-awaited trailer of his upcoming film on Disney Plus Hotstar — "Laxmmi Bomb" but what caught everyone's attention by the end of the trailer was the scream scene. The scene reminded fans and netizens of 'Sangharsh' that released in 1999 and the iconic scene by Ashutosh Rana. The scene in the movie where Rana does the shrill scream to scare Preity Zinta is still deeply instilled in people's memories and it surfaced when Akshay did a similar act in Laxmmi Bomb.

Fashion critic Diet Sabya shared a post about the same and many thought that Ashutosh Rana did it better than Akshay Kumar. One fan wrote, "I thought the same when I saw the trailer today. And Ashutosh Rana any day killed it!!" [sic] Another wrote, "No one can beat Ashutosh Rana..this is his iconic scene...scared the hell out me in childhood" [sic]

Just saw the #LaxmmiBombTrailer,
The dress-up of @akshaykumar in #LaxmiBomb are strikingly similar to Ashutosh Rana in Sangharsh.

Did anyone else also notice?

As a guy who is least bothered about who is supporting whom in Bollywood - what on earth the #LaxmiBomb trailer was all about?

They released serious posters & then content looks like a generic comedy.
