 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough. QPQ is done. Although size crosses 1500 character limit, article looks incomplete. Several lines appear irrelevant in the article and if removed, number of characters will fall below 1500. I will suggest you to add information about number of episodes, reception/review of the series. Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 08:52, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I have removed excessive detail from the article. I could not find any reviews for the series in a reliable source. More info has been added.--Skr15081997 (talk) 12:31, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
 * There is no citation for the fact that no sequel was produced. :) -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 12:26, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * This fact has been removed.--Skr15081997 (talk) 16:05, 9 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg All facts are sourced, no close paragraphing found. Both hooks are properly formatted. Original hook is better as compared to ALT1. Original good to go.
 * Symbol question.svg The hook is misleading – it sounds like some kind of pay-per-view show that Kumar is presenting for free. The source says that he donated his time and talents for free; I changed this in the article. I would like to suggest a different hook:
 * I don't understand how it is misleading. What I understand from the hook is that he didn't charge any fee from the producers for the show.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 05:16, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * "Presenting a show" means hosting or sponsoring a show, not acting in it. Yoninah (talk) 14:32, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Ahh okay. I assumed presented to be hosting/acting. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 15:33, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that in his television debut, Indian film actor Akshay Kumar played both master and student of seven types of martial arts? Yoninah (talk) 00:37, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I have no issues with ALT2.--Skr15081997 (talk) 15:11, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT2 can also be misleading as he was not both master and student for any of the marital art. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ  15:33, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * ??? The English source says he played the master of 3 of them and the student of 4 of them. Yoninah (talk) 19:59, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. So master of some and student of rest. Not both master and student of seven. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 23:57, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Trying again:
 * ALT3: ... that in a seven-part television mini-series, Indian actor Akshay Kumar demonstrated seven types of martial arts and talked about the benefits he derived from them?
 * ALT4: ... that Indian actor Akshay Kumar, who began learning martial arts at age 9, hosted a 2004 television mini-series demonstrating seven martial arts styles? Yoninah (talk) 00:38, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I saw that you have done some re-arrangment in the article. Present version also is okay, length wise and other policy issues. Among above two hooks, ALT4 is more interesting. It is properly formatted and facts are supported with inline citations. Good to go. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ  02:33, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
