Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, who turned 46 earlier this week, received a "Boss" number plate on his birthday

One of his fans gifted him a number plate with the numbers '8055' on it.

Currently shooting for the action thriller in Bangkok, the actor, who celebrated his birthday Monday, was touched by the gesture.

"One of Akshay's craziest fans gifted him a 'Boss' number plate on his birthday. Akshay has been shooting in Bangkok, so the fan had to drop it at the gate of his residence. This number plate was later couriered to Akshay in Bangkok.

He was pleasantly surprised and fondly accepted it. He later asked us to find out who the fan was and wants to meet him personally," said a member of the production team of the film.

Set to release on Oct 16, "Boss" also features Shiv Pandit, Aditi Rao Hydari, Danny Denzongpa, Ronit Roy and Johnny Lever.
